We arrived at Zion Canyon Campground on September 11, 2023 for four nights. The location was perfect! Only 1/2 mile from the park entrance and visitor center! Great views. How nice it was to have a pull-thru site with a large shade tree and where NO ONE can park on our passenger side. Really made… Continue reading Zion National Park – 4 nights

Tourist Day in Jackson Hole, WY
Today we did the tourist thing and explored Jackson Hole’s town center area. We really enjoyed this low-key “stroll around as a true tourist” day. We enjoyed the various animal sculptures. “Royalty” – bronze statue by renowned Canadian Artist Karl Lansing. The bull elk is “life and a half size”. (150% life size) We came… Continue reading Tourist Day in Jackson Hole, WY

Yellowstone Sep 2, 2023 – Hayden Valley Sunrise, Bison, & So Much More
It is amazing how close these entire herds get to the roads (and use the roads). Sometimes though, you are watching a group, and then a few other bison come up around the other side of you. You always need to be alert. These bison really cover a lot of ground! This quick clip pans… Continue reading Yellowstone Sep 2, 2023 – Hayden Valley Sunrise, Bison, & So Much More

FISHING BRIDGE VISITOR CENTER – Rain was due to start anytime so checking out the visitor center was the perfect activity to do since it was so close and of course totally indoors. Outside is the amphitheater the rangers use for educational presentations during the summer season. We briefly stopped by this visitor center yesterday,… Continue reading Fishing Bridge Visitor Center + Scenic Drive
