This old tree was photographed at Big Spring Canyon Overlook in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. We hiked the short trail to the overlook and I climbed through the rocks to a rather precarious perch on the other side where I found this old tree. I was fascinated by the long, exposed root of the tree. We are traveling and are in Colorado this weekend and will not be home again until Wednesday. Posting and commenting will be sporadic until we are back home.

We visited Dead Horse Point State Park briefly this past summer when in Utah. This was the view east from the overlook in the park. The La Sal Mountains are visible in the background and the ponds in the middle of the photo are drying ponds for a company that mines potash in the area.

Taken on a 2022 trip to Utah and Texas, this was the view from the overlook at Dead Horse Point State Park.

Leaving the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park we made a brief visit to Dead Horse Point State Park before on on to the Needles District of Canyonlands were we spent several days hiking and exploring. The state park is a small park with a campground, some trails and this amazing view of the Colorado River.

Taken at Desert View, just inside the east entrance to Grand Canyon National Park. We had driven here from Cedar City, Utah, and would shortly find place to camp for the night along a forest service road, before driving on into the park the next day and camping in Mather Campground for three nights. We spent three days hiking the Rim trail, the Bright Angel trail and the South Kaibab trail, the latter two down into the canyon.

This is Shafer Canyon overlook in the Island of the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park. The road in the picture winds down into the canyon but a four-wheel drive vehicle is required.

This was one of our first stops in Canyonlands National Park, Island in the Sky District, when we were there recently. We had driven through the night and spent the rest of day in this part of Canyonlands before finding a campsite outside the park for the night.

This photo was taken at Conata Basin Overlook in Badlands National Park in South Dakota. We spent most of April 15th in the park on our way across country to Michigan.

This is where we were yesterday. We left Washington early on the 15th and drove fourteen hours to Rapid City, South Dakota, where we spent the night. The next morning we drove to the Badlands and spent most of the day there before driving on through the night to Michigan, another sixteen hours of driving, arriving this morning. We stopped often in the park, not only for the scenery but for the wildlife and had a fabulous day. The weather started overcast but soon cleared in part and the opportunities for photos were many. This was taken at Yellow Mounds Overlook.

Taken on a 2014 trip through Kootenay National Park in British Columbia, this photo shows the Kootenay River Valley early in the morning as the sun came up. Just before descending into the valley there is an overlook and the photo was taken there.

These horses are metal sculptures on a hilltop above the Wanapum Vista Overlook near the bridge where Highway 90 crosses the Columbia River. They are made of welded steel plates and are the work of Spokane artist David Govedare.

These are full-size metal sculptures of horses poised on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River at the place where Interstate Highway 90 crosses the Columbia. The following picture shows the whole group from the car park at the turnoff near the bluff.
