Trappers Lake
Cabrillo National Monument
Joshua Tree National Park
Old Faithful
For some reason, I decided to challenge myself and shoot every photo for this trip in JPG instead of RAW. This is what happens when you don’t use your camera regularly, ‘minor’ settings get forgotten sometimes. We booked a room for a couple of nights at the Old Faithful Lodge and drove up from Denver. This first day was all driving. We stopped for the Park signs at Grand Teton and the southern Yellowstone entrance.

A Quandary Afternoon
A short afternoon hike around the blue lakes on the north side of Quandary Peak a few miles north of Breckenridge, Colorado.

Little Wild Horse Canyon
This was our family camping trip to Capitol Reef National park, however, it was completely full on a Wednesday afternoon. They also don't accept reservations at the campground. We then spent the next few hours driving around the Utah desert looking for a good place to camp. We stumbled upon a fantastic camp site in between Goblin Valley State Park and Little Wild Horse Canyon and spent a couple days exploring the amazing hoo doos and slot canyons. Here are the photos from our time in the Little Wild Horse slot canyon, what an amazing place.
Land of the Ancients
We spent several nights camping at the Morfield Campground in Mesa Verde National Park. The weather was perfect, and we enjoyed exploring this part of the state. We spent a couple of days at Mesaverde and then a day driving around the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument with a visit and hike around Hovenweep National Monument.
