Tig Two

Adam and Lauren joined us for our adventure to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It is so different from the South Rim and unique with it's own beauty. As always, we HAD to hike down into the canyon.....just a bit.

A great side trip on our way to Utah was Mesa Verde. Unfortunately we were not allowed in to the Pueblo dwellings. But just seeing the construction and location of each grouping was terrific.

Our second 'side trip' on the way to Utah was at this unique NP. We hiked the Devil's Hall Trail. It was a great adventure.

Our first sight of the canyon took our breath away. It is so magnificent. We hiked several trails around the canyon and a couple down into the canyon (part way). What a great adventure.

This park has some magnificent hikes through deep gorges. Awesome! Music from https://filmmusic.io "Industrious Ferrit / Jarcic 8 / Jazzy Friendly" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Cedar Breaks was another great side trip. It is a cross of Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon. Music from https://filmmusic.io "Sever Tire Damage/ Plucky Daisy / Lost Time" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

One of our first 'side trips' on our way to Utah was to Carlsbad Caverns. When we planned the stop, it was another national park on the list. After we visited.....we would love to go back. The grandeur and the minute detail coexist in this spectacular place. It was a terrific adventure!

Canyonlands and Arches NP are next door neighbors. We were camped in between the parks which gave us easy access to the area. Canyonlands is massive......vast! The central road took us to several good hikes and viewpoints.

This is such a unique park. Sandy and I took a hike down into the HooDoo's. This park is so different than the other parks in Utah. Music from https://filmmusic.io "Bass Walker / Bicycle" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

We came back to the Bryce area for an ATV ride but while we were in the area we dropped by the park so that Adam and Lauren could 'walk among' the HooDoos. Another great Tig Two adventure.

Our final 'Side Trip' on the way to Utah was the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. You can see it from the rim but there is very little access to the river.......because it is SO steep and deep. Amazing!

We made it to Utah! We had some wonderful adventures along the way but are excited to finally be here. Arches NP did not disappoint. Driving around the park is spectacular and the arches are magnificent. It was a great first day in Utah.

Beginner drone pilot - but I've learned enough to understand some issues that come with the Holy Stone HS 720. Hopefully my experience will help you in determining how to maximize your drone experience.

This is my first drone. I made a few mistakes in learning to fly this rascal. Hopefully, my 'how to' video will help others avoid my mistakes. Holy Stone support was terrific in helping me solve some of my issues.

The destinations we traveled to gave us many great adventures. Also, the journey to those destinations many times was spectacular. This 'journey' took us on CO Rte. 145 past Telluride. We were travelling from Mesa Verde NP to The Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP. The fall color of the Aspen was a brilliant yellow.

Our very last stop before bee-lining it home was in Page, AZ at Lake Powell. We got to see the lake, Horseshoe Bend, and 'someone' snuck in a round of desert golf.

Sometimes getting there is a great adventure in itself. In the video I show a couple of those days. First, around Moab, UT there are some roads that follow the Colorado River. Awesome! Also, on our way to Capitol Reef, Rte 95 had some great spots, especially when it crossed the Colorado River.

Sometimes the "Journey" is as great an adventure as the destination. We found that to be true of most of our traveling days. This video looks at UT Rte. 12 and 143......beautiful days of driving..

I took a solo hike down the canyon side just to experience a hike down the 1600 ft. drop in elevation. Whew! and Awesome!
