Rugged and Beautiful, Man & Nature

How about this bathtub-ring?

So my son in law likes words.... but he also published pictures from the adventures he experienced with our daughter; just go to their blog

We had a whirlwind four days with our friends in Page, AZ. A day trip on lake Powell, exploring canyons, visiting the beautiful Rainbow Bridge site (Pic on our previous blog)
We took a float trip down the Colorado River, below Glen Canyon dam which was very relaxing.
We went to Toro Weap on the North rim of the Grand Canyon and you can see me sit on the edge, it looks less scary on the photograph....
We went four-wheeling in the Paria River area and found a fixer-upper...
We thought we were on the moon, but there was a road below, to which we could connect.
Beautiful Lake Powel, Yes we did go swimming in water over 200 feet deep.
The temperature (nearer the surface, of course) was nearly 80 degrees (F)


A real tight spot in Labyrinth Canyon
Does this look like a gun-sight? That's what it is named

Nice places on the river, the cayon walls are very high (1200 ft)

In the Paria river area
A real fixer upper....



The Glen Canyon dam is a sight to behold as well,
the bridge carries two lane traffic, and shakes just a bit. The dam is 710 feet high and is wider that Hoover dam, down stream.
