One photo a day challenge: Day 71. Most of the snow has melted in our area. I wanted to explore down by one of the local streams and see what I could find to photograph.

Cracked tree… Read More

The park is most well known for all of its waterfalls along the gorge trail. But this time of year the gorge trail is closed. We spent our time hiking the upper rim trails. Even those trails were quite icy. Make sure you wear proper footwear. I… Read More
