The first time you see Bryce canyon is wild. It seems like your on another planet

Summer of 20 we did in order..Great Sand Dunes NP-the Silver Thread Colorado scenic byway-Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP and then across Utah to Bryce Canyon NP...from Bryce we went along Hwy 12 (otherwise known as the most beautiful road on the planet)..Kodachrome Basin USP-Petrified Forest USP-Escalante-Grand Staircase NM-Capitol Reef NP...the north up to Goblin Valley USP-Canyonlands NP-Dead Horse Point USP-Arches NP...then down to Mesa Verde NP and then all the way around the San Juan Scenic Hwy (part of which is better known as the "Million Dollar Hwy")


Spectacular trip..

Trying to catch up on the National Park talk.

Went to Glacier last year and was blown away!!
Beautiful drives, wild life and terrific hiking.

Went to Yellowstone and Teton the year before. Yellowstone had the better pull offs, Teton had the better hikes.
They were incredible but very much paled in comparison to Glacier. I really want to go back there soon.

Jumping in here. If you like glacier, I highly recommend Banff in Canada. I used to live in Colorado and then in Montana, and a couple years ago, I drove to glacier and then up to Banff. Banff is absolutely amazing and IMO better than Tetons and Glacier.

Anyone been to Vancouver?

Crazy weather..just looked outside and have a half inch of snow on my deck..

Are you retired? That would be an awesome trip but i have no time to do that much at one time.

I wonder why we always have to say something is better? My favorite place is Greater Yellowstone, but it actually isn't any better than any of the other spectacular parks I've been to.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

No grand tetons, no narrows, no butte, no geyser. No wildlife.

You never know what @Weezer is willing to share, and there’s not a da*n one of us that wants to open that pandora box.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

I'm thinking of changing my screen name to Firehouse. That's what @Jackcrevol 's mom calls me, because she likes sliding down my pole.

Soooooo, this is awkward...., so is the Nashville trip still on? This time I have to be in drivers seat.

Nope...we just have very cool companies that allow us to take three to four weeks off a year. It is just me and the wife now, and we have almost zero bills, we live on very little and save a lot, but we went on trips even when all of our kids were still home.

Our bucket list is #2 priority for us, traveling to beautiful places is worth far more to us than stuff and we have passed that love on to our children.

We are very low middle class income, we just make it work because it means so much to us. That trip last year probably saved me from having a mental breakdown, after mom died I kind of went off the deep end for a couple of months. I feel at peace in Gods great natural cathedrals.

Wowza. That is a cathedral of gnarly rock formations.

Peyton caused Jeff Fisher to almost stop punting the ball when they would play the Colts. May as well take a chance on turning it over on downs at your own 40, the Colts would be there in 3 plays anyway.

That's a great idea I never thought of. Obviously scenery. Hikes? What's the scoop?

 

[TheRain]

You never know with the big guys.

 

[ACvol3]

I hadn’t seen that.. but I just saw that he posted a new episode 2 days ago and I guess he discusses that.. sad stuff.

I saw his show at the Tennessee Theater back in September and it was fantastic. He is great live.

Yeah his last episode is the one that made me think about it. He goes into what has been causing a lot of his issues (stuff with his mom, etc). Says he’s feeling somewhat better, but it’s an ongoing thing and probably always will be

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That my friend is Bryce Canyon National Park...the only thing that sucked for me about it was knees were shot from the day before so I couldn't make it down to do the trails in the hoodoos.

That last photo makes it so easy to imagine the sea that was once there

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Wait a minute, @SmokinBob has the RV…. I’m set.

Delegating? What the haids are you actually going to do?

 

[BigSteve09]

Dude. Wow.

 

[Weezer]

Can I bring @Jackcrevol 's mom?

 

[Weezer]

Anyone been to Vancouver?

I've been to Vancouver Island, many years ago, to go bungee jumping, but never the city.

 

[Weezer]

You never know what @Weezer is willing to share, and there’s not a da*n one of us that wants to open that pandora box.

She says, but then asks...

Seems suspicious.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Only if you don’t share truck stop bathrooms stuff, and that includes pics.

It ought be.
