In the spring of 2002, David and I took a two-week trip that included Zion, Bryce Canyon and Yellowstone national parks. In all we drove some 3,500 miles and experienced temperatures ranging over a 65-degree spread.

Our first photo op was the not-so-famous Shoe Tree along Highway 50 in the high desert of Nevada.

We spent three days at Zion National Park.

Then we visited Bryce Canyon

We took a scenic tour on Highway 12, meandering our way to Capitol Reef National Park

Our final destination was Yellowstone National Park.
