Here are some pictures from our July '06 trip all over the place! We started in Bryce, hit Zion, went up to Huntington Canyon, Utah, on up to Bozeman, MT, over through Idaho, Washington, then down through Oregon...we finished by heading south down through California, then back home. A great trip, saw lots, visited with the kids, and re-connected with my cousin that I hadn't seen in 30 years. Wow. Next time, we will do less driving and more exploring in one place.
