Trip Update
The 10-day camping trip is going about as well as possible, so far. I drove out to Zion on Wednesday and camped at the Watchman campgrounds for two nights. I took the shuttle to Court of the Patriarchs, came back to the canyon junction and walked the Pa'Rus trail back to camp. Thursday was pretty busy, I decided to hike to Hidden Canyon, one of the hikes on the "strenuous" list. It was a lot of fun, but definitely wore me out. Friday was travel day, I packed up and left Zion in the morning and got to Bryce Canyon around 11 a.m. Bryce is just amazing, the first time I saw it I think I just stood there with my jaw wide open until a fly went in my mouth. I started out with a hike down the northern side of it. Today, my 2nd day here, I went to Bryce Amphitheater, and stood there with my mouth open again. Really amazing stuff. Anyway, this is a brief update, I will post a very long article once I'm back home in about a week or so with lots of details. In the meantime, enjoy some of the photos I have taken. Higher resolution photos can be found here.

Two More Days
In two days, I'll be headed up to Utah to start my camping trip. I'm really looking forward to it. My first stop will be Zion National Park, one of my favorite places. From there, I'll go to Bryce Canyon National Park and Arches National Park. Then, I will cross over into Colorado and visit Great Sand Dunes National Park and then, finally, Rocky Mountain National Park. I am planning for two nights at each location, with some travel time in between. There will probably be a couple of side stops along the way (Colorado City?) and I plan to be fairly flexible with my schedule. In other words, if I decide I want to stay one more night at a particular park, or cut one leg of the trip short, then I will do that.
I'm pretty excited about the trip. I'll be uploading photos here. I'm not sure how much Internet connectivity I will have, but between my air card and any hot spots I find during the travel days, I should be able to put up photos fairly regularly. I'll also do an occasional blog entry, time permitting.
