Our time in Las Vegas is zooming by, but I wanted to share a sneak peak of what we’ve been up to. Our weekend was fantastic and Mother Nature was in her full glory. Here’s a little taste of our hikes in the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park.
Our first stop was Zion National Park where we hiked the Narrows (photos to come soon). Our second stop was the Cayon Overlook Trail. It was well worth the hike for the views of sunset over the canyon.

The following day we made the most spectacular drive out to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It’s a cliché for me to say there are no words or pictures that can accurately describe the Grand Canyon, but it’s true. I feel blessed to have been able to witness it for myself.

Our trip would not have been possible (or nearly as much fun) without this guy and his great group of friends who allowed us to tag along on their adventures. A huge thank you to everyone and many more photos to come!

It’s absolutely breath-taking and I highly recommend the less visited North Rim. Incredible!

I want more, I want more! I bet you are having a fun time – hard to balance all of the photography editing and writing with traveling – right?! So strange – but one of my friends and I are now considering doing a week in this area – so I’m really excited about your Narrows photos since he is intimidated by it. I need to prove to him that it’s not as hard and scary as he thinks…at least I hope it’s not!

Oh man, if I can do it, anyone can. It’s not hard or scary at all. Just wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet and a walking stick is helpful but not necessary. I didn’t have one because it was too much with the camera. I do recommend taking lots of zip-locks to stash camera and other electronics in.

Photographs of the Grand Canyon never fail to amaze me. Our planet’s just amazing, isn’t it? I heard the other day you could do rafting trips, I wouldn’t mind trying that.
