Baby Owl and Half Dome
Yosemite Nat. Park, CaOur drive through Yosemite National Park was picturesque. We took time to stop and enjoy the view and breathe the fresh, clean air. We also found 12 inch pine cones, which we were tempted to bring home, but we didn’t have enough room in the SUV and we didn’t think Mother Earth would appreciate it.
We stayed in a quaint, ski resort village called Mammoth Lakes. We were warned that the bears were extra hungry and came into town every night. We slept the best yet in the cool mountain air and didn’t see or hear any bears. (Not even Joe snoring!)
We spent the next day driving through “No Man, Or Woman’s Land” across Nevada. The land was desolate and we happened upon cowboy towns, tumble weed, wild horses and drove through a dust storm. It was truly an adventure, however were thrilled to arrive back in civilization, Cedar City, Utah.
We visited Kolob Canyon and were in awe of the landscape and the beginning of the Grand Canyon. We were blown away when were toured the Zion National Park. There are just no words to describe it.
We have been blessed with good weather during
our Wanderlust Tour and arrived just after a snow squall in Utah. It was time to pack up our summer clothes and dig out the winter coats and mittens. It was a gift to see a powdering of white snow on the red rocks of Utah.
We’re on the road again tomorrow...next stop Colorado!
