Kolob Utah National Park and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon

Some views on the way to the canyon as well as the North Rim of the Grand Canyon



This little deer was trying to hide from us.

Foliage is starting to turn-time to head south for warmer weather.

We saw a lot of Pronghorns along the way.

Pampas  grass, haven't seen this since we left California.

Anyone for thanksgiving dinner? Wild turkeys seen along the way.

There is always time for pretty flowers.
Across the valley just before the canyon.

Toni and I on the way to the end of the walk into the canyon.

Across the valley while in the canyon

One of the Bluejays in the canyon.
                                   Some shots of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon follow. 




These young people were on a high rock--crazy or daring????

More views in the canyon follow.




We ran across this painter in the canyon. Trying to capture the beauty.


Toni headed to the end of the walk. See how narrow the walk is on the way.

More views follow of the canyon.







Toni and Remi at the end of the walk.

 A few views of Hungry Horse Dam and area in Montana

Traveling together again in Shelby MT
Just a neat trestle bridge

                                     A couple of views across the states as we head to Utah


The trees are changing colors and are very pretty


Smoke in the air due to fires in Idaho-we saw this in 4 states

Look ma no hands!!!

The story of interstate 15

Traveling with good friends, but this is really close. LOL

Across the valley and all the smoke -hard to get good photos

This is just a little far from The Black Hills of South Dakota

A view across the valley
We took a back road --it was a little dusty

Road hazards

This and the following photos were the destination of our drive


                        The flowers below were found on the way to the historical site above




THE ROAD!!!!!



These two photos are equipment that was left as yard art work in front of the historical building
