Southwest National Park Tour

1. Eight days and 217 pictures later we're back in New England. For years we talked about making a trip to the Grand Canyon, but always seemed to procrastinate and never got there. I am so happy we finally decided to go. We took a Caravan Tour that began in Phoenix, Arizona, headed North to Sedona, Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. I'm someone who is normally difficult to impress, but this week every day managed to amaze me. The sights are mind boggling, no words or pictures can do them justice. I recommend that you grab a pen or pencil and immediately put a trip here on your "Bucket List". You really have to see it before you die. I wish I were able to show you all 217 pictures here. If you want to see the rest, let me know, I'll email them to you.

We were also very fortunate to have an excellent Tour Director, Bruce Gilbert, who had a vast knowledge of the area and passed it on to us at every opportunity. Additionally everything went like clockwork with not a hitch in the program. I must say that even the airports were tolerable. Many who know me have a good idea of how I detest airports. This trip proved to be so good, we're already planning the next one.
Top picture is of Marge at the Grand Canyon. We even got some pictures of Marge standing in front of three huge Elk and Mule deer feeding on the lodge lawn. We're told they come out every day. Second picture is called the three sisters. This was take in Monument Valley (Navajo Reservation land). Third and fourth were taken at Bryce Canyon, probably the prettiest of all the stops. By the way, those little dots in the third picture are people who made their way down a hiking path.
I think I'll stop. Have always tried to keep my Blogs short so as not to bore you, but I can't promise not to write some more about it in the future.
