Living the dream in SW Colorado, in the heart of some of the world's prettiest mountains and canyon country. We chip away at world travel as life allows and will soon be dragging our two kids with us so that they too can have the perspective that travel brings.

What a great experience you had! I loved reading about your rim to rim hike and your photos are great! Together they tell a fantastic story. We just returned from the Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce.... The Southwest is an awesome section of our country where nature has created the most beautiful formations with rock. I could go back tomorrow and still feel the goosebumps on seeing these beautiful places. Thanks again for your wonderful post.
