The Colorado River at Laughlin, NV

Our travels took us to Laughlin Nevada today, where I imaged this panoramic view of the Colorado River. Left to right are the Laughlin Bullhead City bridge, the river with north Bullhead on the opposite bank and finally downstream to Don Laughlin’s Riverside Hotel and Casino – now slightly larger than the original single story complex.

Visit to the Grand Canyon

One more day of visiting the most beautiful scenery in the world. Today we’re at Grand Canyon where we posed at the ‘Desert View’ lookout for this shot. The famous Fred Harvey Watchtower is at this location. We’re taking so many beautiful pictures that we will share on the blog sometime soon.

Northern Arizona Sunset

We saw a lot of spectacular scenery today, including arches, hoodoos, monuments, flora and fauna. This beautiful sunset, however, deserved to be posted as today’s favorite. I took over a thousand pictures today and believe me, it was easy to pick this one. Click for screen saver size.

Ghost Rock

Ghost Rock is the name of a scenic overlook on Interstate 70. This is a picture of the rock taken as we whizzed past on our way to Moab Utah, our base station for tomorrow’s visits to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Earlier today, we were in Bryce Canyon. I’ll have some photos from Bryce in a vacation summary post after we’re home.
