Man, I think I am about to short out my keyboard with all the drool. That is an awesome trip. You are doing my dream vacation. Almost to the T on what I was wanting to run trail wise. Don't suppose you are heading down to Monument Valley and then to Tuweep on the North Rim are you?

not this year (maybe next year I was thinking about that). This trip I am starting to head north now and will be heading into WY. It's too hot for me to head even further south now :p

Ahhhh yes, Grand Teton, Yellowstone and the surrounding area. Absolutely beautiful. Don't forget to stop in the Gun Barrel if you head through Jackson (JAckson Hole if you aren't from around there). We ate there back in '98 and it was great and from what I've read on this board, it still is.

Isn't the first bit of rain and green such a welcome sight after a few days in the climate of southern Utah? Sometimes it feels so good to just finally cool off for once.

The area around Price Canyon is amazing, my wife is from that area so I get to go explore a couple of times a year. You've pointed out some great places for me to go check out on the next trip, Thanks!

Randy, I'm not sure if you're travlling through mysterious places I've never heard of or if I've just unknowingly passed by a lot of cool stuff, but you are seeing and sharing some wonderful country with the rest of us.

Muchly appreciated. Keep it up! :beer:

Awesome trip. I have been back at work about 2 weeks now since seeing you on the trail and you are still going! Man I wish I had an extra two weeks to spend out that way.

The sky didn't cooperate with me here, as it had just rained and the sun was out, so it was kinda hazy......but I did stop by Devils Tower
