Speed touring Capital Reef, Bryce & Zion National Parks

Utah has some great National Parks. I think Arches and Canyonlands are probably the crown jewels but Capital Reef, Bryce and Zion all have much to offer as well. Capital Reef is suppose to be the least visited of the Utah National Parks but we found crowds there, just as we have at every other national park we visited this summer. The Visitor’s center was so crowded you could hardly move so we headed out just as another tour bus pulled up. The Reef was created by what’s called a Waterpocket Fold, which caused a 100-mile large rock upheaval many moons ago. Like most of Southern Utah it has lots of cool rock formations, but it also has the Fremont River that allowed both Indians and early Mormons to settle and farm in the area. We picked apples in one of the half dozen or more orchards in the park. We found great homemade salsa and jam at the Fremont store and enjoyed lunch along the Fremont River under the cover of huge shade trees. We found cool rock formations, canyons and p...

FAQ #3: Where is the most favorite place you have been?

Canadian Rockies People always ask me about money & mail and then this question (or a variation of it), always follows - "Where is the most favorite place you have been?". I think this one is the toughest questions to answer as my most favorite place is usually wherever I am at the moment. Every place seems to have something special about it, whether you are in Barrow, AK , the tip of Texas , Keywest, FL or anyplace in between. The bottomline is that North America is an amazingly diverse and beautiful place to explore and I have been so blessed to have spent a decade on wheels exploring it. I recently started a new company called His Wonders to highlight through pictures and gifts some of the incredible scenery that can be found throughout the US and Canada but much of the time even the best pictures don't do justice to a location. My hope is always that my pictures will encourage you to go check a place out for yourself. B...

Journal excerpts - Bears at Katmai National Park/Brook Falls, AK

July 30th, 2004 Homer, AK to Katmai National Park, AK The Float plane out of Homer was delayed 2 times and almost canceled because of the rain but then it cleared up and we were able to take off. I was very happy because this is the last day that they are going to Katmai National Park for their tours. Katmai is the only known place where Grizzly bears actually gather to fish. We went to Brook Falls which is the place that you see on National Geographic with the bears standing on top of the falls with the salmon jumping into their mouth. We went on a 8 seater float plane. The two hour flight over alone was worth the price to go. The first thing that we did was go to a ranger talk where they told us all the do’s and don’ts of being there. After the training we got a Brooks Camp pin to show we had been through the training. The number one thing we learned in the training was that we had to leave all food and anything that had an odor to it, in a one locked storage ...
