Sunset Crater National Monument

12 years ago

While we were in Flagstaff we went to see Sunset Crater National Monument. I have added a link so that you can read about the crater.

We have been having a great time and have seen lots of interesting places. We are now in Utah where we were at Bryce Canyon National Park today.

I hope you will enjoy the pictures that I post.

Here is a link that might be useful: Sunset Crater National Monument

A number of years ago we did the out-and-back Narrows hike in late May or early June (around Memorial Day). Water was moving but current not too strong. It was beautiful but seemed there were a lot of folks out that day and I would like to do the hike again without seeing quite so many people. Same trip it snowed at Bryce Canyon. We stayed at Flanigan's outside of Zion and I would stay there again. There very well might be nicer places but budget was a big factor in our choice of lodging on that trip.

Today's Chicago Tribune has a guest editorial in the Perspectives section. It's by a native Texan, Rick Bass, currently writer-in-residence at Montana State University. He focuses first on the Bundy family's quest to continue to use public lands for personal gains -- based on the fact that they were able to do it unchallenged until recently. He sees the Bundys being goaded by Big Business, which seeks privatization of *more* of the American wilderness with the Trump administration. in power. "In January Rep. Jasin Chaffetz, R-Utah, intoduced a bill to allow the sale of 3.3 million acres of public lands." (He withdrew the bill after public protests.) We can fight back or lose the last of the American wilderness to ever-present greed. If you believe This Land is Our Land, you better say so now.

Thank you for sharing. We have traveled in the area you are, but many many years ago. It is always amazing to see the tree life and the animals in the dessert area. Glad you are having a great time. Is it warm enough? Find any rattlesnakes yet?

Actually the weather has been beautiful. The days In Page were anywhere from mid 70's to the mid 90's. The North Rim was 68 degrees the first day and then in the mid 70's. Bryce was a bit hotter but not in the 100's. We are now at Capitol Reef and the temp today was in the low 70's with some rain showers.

Haven't seen any snakes or other nasty varmints.
