I enjoyed my vacation too much.

Yay!  :D  What was the best part?

That is really hard to say.  The Grand Canyon at sunset was breathtaking.  The hike down Canyon de Chelly to a cliff dwelling was pretty cool.  Carlsbad Caverns are unbelievable and the nightly bat flight out of the cave is amazing (thousands and thousands of bats).  Big Bend National Park is a hidden treasure that everyone should visit, who knew that such big mountains and beautiful canyons existed in southwest Texas?  But probably my favorite was Monument Valley.  It is just too beautiful for words.  I will post some pictures in a few days from my trip.

Hmmm... for the rest of the summer vacation plans include a small 4th party, 2 days in ameterdam, a weekend of music festivals along the east coast, at least one visit to the US Open and (if my passes get sent) my second trip to the Telluride Film Festival.  Prolly sneak a weekend at a friends summer share at the shore as well.  Hmm... if I can arange flights properly I may be able to sneak in a run through Big Bend & 4 Corners (have to land in Farmington, NM i believe).

Here are some of my pics from vacation

The Grand Canyon


Hovenweep: An ancient cliff dwelling on the Utah/Colorado border


Monument Valley
This rock formation is called Mexican Hat               My Forrest Gump shot (where he finally stops running)


More Monument Valley


John Ford's Point (shot scenes from both The Searchers and Stagecoach right here)
I didn't pay the $2 to sit on a horse and have my picture taken so I could be like John Wayne, probably should have.  :D


Canyon de Chelly
Spider Rock                                                              Cliff dwelling in the canyon


Petrified Forest National Park
Our home for that night: The Wigwam Motel


Blue Mesa Trail in the Painted Desert part of Petrified National Forest


Carlsbad Caverns (750 feet underground)


Rainbow at Carlsbad


Big Bend National Park
Sunset


Lost Mine Trail overlook


St. Elena Canyon on the Rio Grande
