San Francisco & Gregg's home in Orinda CA
Gregg took a week off from work, and he took me on a tour of S.F. and around the hills of Orinda CA where he now lives. It's across the bay from S.F. near U.C. Berkeley.

Yosemite National Park, California -
Photos of my1st day entering the park, with day hikes in the valley & 2nd day when I took an unplanned 8 hour hike 2,700' up to upper Yosemite Falls. I ran out of food & water on the way to the top. Very scary!

Sequoia National Park, California-
Drive from Yosemite and into the Giant Sequoia trees. My hike on the Big Trees Trail, and my drive out. I only spent one day there, but it was worth the drive.

Zion Canyon National Park , Utah -
Two days in Zions canyon National Park. Shots of the river hike, and a hike around my campsite.

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah -
Photos of the Hoodoos from the tourist sections of Bryce. The trails here are wider and safer than the backcountry trails, but have more views of hoodoos. I hiked the Queens Garden & Navajo Loop Trals.

|
Grand Canyon North Rim , Arizona -
Photos of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Only one road in and not as many visit due to the long drive to get there. I spent two days in late October and the fall colors were amazing.

HWY 89A, the road from the North Rim to Flagstaff -
This long lonely road crosses through miles and miles of Navajo country. Barren rolling plains, with high rock cliffs in the distance. A bleak landscape, but in a strange way still really beautiful.
