Summer Road Trip, part 2

Next up on our road trip was a stop at Bryce Canyon National Park. I was so busy taking pictures of the park that I forgot to take a selfie here. That reminds me, I need to get a stuffie-sized selfie stick. Does anyone have one?

This is the Bryce Canyon Ampitheater. You can see millions of years of nature's work sculpting and molding rocks into interesting shapes.

The rocks look like little statues up close, but they are all natural!

The formations that look like little clumps stacked on top of each other are called hoodoos. They erode at a rate of 2-4 feet every 100 years.

Oh, hello there! I met a friendly squirrel who was also taking in the sights.

Okay, so we're having a great trip so far, but time for a quick stop to get some snacks. Look at what I found - HONEY STINGER energy bars. Have you had these before? They have honey in them so it must be good.

After a quick refuel, we continued on our road trip and stopped at Dead Horse Point. Hmm, I don't like the sound of this place. At least it's not Dead Bear Point?  *gulp*

Wow, just wow...

The view seems to change every 2 minutes with the sun and the shadows.

This is not a Photoshopped image!

Wow! Look at how the river bends 180 degrees!

Let's keep going on our road trip...

Summer Road Trip in Utah and Arizona

Hey everyone, my secretary finally got around to getting some photos together from our summer road trip in Utah and Arizona so I can do a blog post. It's about time! Okay, let me show you what we did.

I flew into Las Vegas, Nevada where I met up with my friend Droopy and we started our road trip from there to Utah. My secretary did not do a good job of captioning the photos (sigh), so I don't remember exactly where each one was taken, but we visited several national parks, including Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Canyonlands, and the Arches.

It was beary hot when we visited the parks, some days reaching 117 F! It was a rugged outing, so looks like a job for my Bear Cub Scout uniform. I wonder if Bear Cub Scout Leader Uncle Tibbs will give me a hiking badge for this.

My fur seems to blend in with the red dirt, doesn't it?

I sat down on some rocks, only to find that it was so hot and burned my bum!

Some of these rocks look like they could topple over at any moment. If that's the case, then I'm outta here!

This one too... yikes.

We stopped at a scenic view on the side of the road and also met some Navajo indians who were selling some of their handmade arts and crafts. They have beary beautiful jewelry and pottery. Take a look! I saw a lot of bear items because the bear is a sacred animal to the indians and symbolizes strength and courage. (Yes, I agree.)  :)

Okay, let's see what else we'll find on this trip...
