Nice Trip
Well,
We finally returned from an 18 day camping, wheeling, hiking trip. We traveled from LA to The Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Crested Butte, Marble, Moab, Durango (again), Grand Canyon (again), and Bishop, with countless stops in between. Here is a brief chronological pictorial description of the trip.
Lava River Cave near Flagstaff
Inside
Outside
Hopi Point
Clean Cruiser in Condor Nest Watch Program
Mesa Verde
Cliff Palace
Mesa Verde Sky
Silverton Rig
Engineer on a drizzley/snowy day
Mineral Cabin
At the Top
Animas Forks after Cinnamon and Lake City
Animas Work Horses
Yankee Boy Basin
The canyon to Yankee Boy as the climb to Imogene begins
Imogene Ahead
Cold near the top
Imogene Pass -Don't look down, this was kinda spooky!
Droping to TomBoy
Black Bear Trail and Bridalveil Falls from Imogene
Leaving Teluride
401 Trail View above Gothic near Crested Butte
Near Rustler's Gulch
Washington Gulch
Colorado River near Chicken Corners
Hurrah Pass
Balance Rock, Arches
Newspaper Rock near the Needles entrance to Canyonlands
Ancient Bristlecone (one is over 4700 years old and still kicking)
Downed Bristlecone
Desert Big Horn in Silver Canyon between Ancient Bristlecone Forest and Bishop

That rocks George! We are taking a very similar trip in early Oct, and we are hitting Moab on the way home.
Looks like a blast!
I know you gave credit where credit was due, that's the best part.

We stood in awe, day after day, at the wonder of His creation, and gave thanks!
