Bryce Canyon, Utah

“It’s a helluva place to lose a cow” -Ebenezar Bryce

The talk around Ruby’s Inn was that it would snow overnight. It was said with disappointment but to me this was exciting news. Early the next morning, we arrived at the Canyon in bitter cold but it was a place of wonder I will always remember. As a bonus, it was deserted, we were the only ones there for the first hour near dawn.

The Watchman, Zion National Park, Utah

“Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter” -Ansel Adams

Zion National Park was created in 1918, and it was one of the gems of the U.S. Park system. It includes the Zion Canyon, cut out of the towering Navajo Sandstone by the Virgin River. An efficient shuttle system moves visitors about. It is worth a trip at all times of the year, our October 2006 trip was a particularly colorful time.

The Bennington Battle Monument

The Bennington Battle Monument

While driving through Bennington, Vermont, we suddenly saw a huge stone obelisk on the horizon and went to investigate. We found that the Bennington Battle Monument was a memorial to to events of the American War of Independence, which was completed in the late 1890s at a reported cost of $120,000. For a cost of $2 you can take an elevator to over half way to the top of the 306′ structure. There are some excellent views of the Vermont countryside from that vantage point.

Mont Saint-Michel, Normandy, France

Mont Saint-Michel in the Normandy area of France, is a tidal island which has been the site of the Saint-Michel monastery since the 8th Century AD. The Abbey which dominates the site, has been extended over the centuries to the magnificent structure it is today.

The site is a huge tourist attraction but it is worthwhile to brave the crowds.
