My newest painting (literally just signed it) is of Zion National Park. I love this park and the trails are some of the best in the national park system.
This is an overlook viewpoint with Angel’s Landing and the Temple of Sinawava in the distance. Last time I was in the park my son and I hiked the Angel’s Landing trail. We’ve also hiked the Narrows, the Weeping Wall, along the Virgin River, and Observation Point.
Utah has diverse topography ranging from the canyons of the Colorado Plateau to the mountains of the Wasatch and Uinta ranges and the arid salt flats of the western region. Utah is a great place to find reptiles and hidden in red rock canyons are a variety of colorful wildflowers. View the gallery..
We took a weekend camping trip to northwestern Colorado and a little bit of Utah. We made our first trip to Dinosaur National Monument and saw the Dinosaur Quarry and hiked the Fossil Discovery Trail in 97 degree heat. We also visited the Natural History Museum in Vernal, UT.
The following day we went to Steamboat Lake (a favorite place of ours in CO) to do some canoeing.
We camped at the KOA in Steamboat Springs which was ok, but more crowded and not as scenic as the Steamboat Lake campground. We camped there last year and loved it.
We saw a bald eagle, golden eagle and a beaver but couldn’t get photos because we were on the road and couldn’t pull over in time. The golden eagle was especially cool. I had never seen one and it was huge.
Hopefully I did it justice. On to the next project….TBD
Moab and Glenwood Springs, Aug 2020
In the summer of 2020 we took three days to visit and recreate in two of our favorite towns in the Western US. We’d visit and hike in Arches National Park, float on the Colorado River, and stay at one of the historic hotels of Glenwood Springs.
Utah, Lake Powell, and Durango, June 2021
In June of 2021 we loaded up my truck and drove off to Utah for some adventure in the parks and on the water.
