Las Vegas Strip, Nevada.
We did take one city diversion during our last trip to update our Las Vegas photos. You see that new Ferris Wheel just made our extensive library out of date. Plus, there are other changes – Wild Bill’s Casino is now something new, and there are even changes in front of Ballys.
Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.
This was a little over a week ago. Fresh rain overnight added some extra color and texture to this unique formation in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.
Funny, I was very excited to have rain while in Nevada – for a long time now I have wanted to see these features wet to see how different they might look. And I love the smell of rain in the desert. Since I have been back in Alaska, it has hardly stopped raining – now I’m equally excited for a sunny day here! 🙂
View from the West Rim Trail, Zion National Park, Utah.
Sunrise from near our wonderful campsite along the West Rim Trail. This was way up there at around 6,800 feet – you hike down into the canyon you see here to reach the upper portion of the Angel’s Landing Trail.
Havasu Falls, Havasupai Indian Reservation, Arizona.
This is the view from the trail – so imagine this, ten miles of a hot, dusty backpack across the desert and then come over a small mesa to see this! It really is an amazing sight. The only thing better then seeing this, is dropping your backpack and swimming into those refreshing waters!
This is on the Havasupai Indian Reservation. Havasupai means “people of the blue green water”. Pretty accurate description if you ask me.
Fire Wave, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.
Back home in Alaska! I love to travel, but I also love to me home.
I thought I had amazing light during my first weekend photo tour in Valley of Fire State Park – that was until the second weekend. For the second weekend, we had all kinds of cool clouds, light and weather – even rain! This photo was last Sunday night. These tours were a lot of fun, if I can find the time, I hope to do them again next year.
Sacred Datura, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.
Sacred Datura, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada. There were surprising numbers of wildflowers this fall from Zion to Nevada and Arizona. Thanks to a wet summer, this is the second year in a row in which there were more far more wildflowers in October then there were in the spring.
