Bryce Canyon and Zion

In June, Wendy, Trish, Charley and I took a girls trip to the last 2 Utah National Parks that I really wanted to visit.  It was fantastic!  So much fun.

Many of these photos are taken by Wendy, some by me, and some by Trish.

First we went to Bryce Canyon.





Endangered Utah Prairie Dog

Amazing scenery



These were taken in Zion, as The Riverwalk enters The Narrows.



Wendy was a little more adventurous than me, taking Charley out to get this photo

Turkeys everywhere!

Great Basin Rattlesnake



Back in Bryce...


These amazing ladies took charge of Charley, a LOT - giving me a break!


Charley took Paul, the Prairie Dog Rod adopted her last year, with us so he could meet his family...







Upon entering Zion, we were greeted by a herd of Desert Bighorns

While Trish and Wendy walked the Riverwalk trail - this is what we did.  We got LOTS of attention from passersby!

One day, C and I rode the bus and took a walk (a little longer than I"d hoped) to the nature center.  This guy was super nice to Charley, showing her around.

And even though she was WAY below the age cutoff, the ranger invited her to stay for the "Junior Ranger" program.  She felt big.


One day a whole group of kids were playing on the lawn.  Charley was in heaven!

It was a fantastic trip!
