I'm a Web Developer, Photographer, Travel Lover and Bigfoot Believer from Minnesota, eh! =)

If you happen to get lucky with weather, you'll be in for a treat! We were prepared with rain gear and hiked down the bright angel trail a little ways. After the storm passed a beautiful rainbow stretched across the canyon.The icing on the cake...we crossed paths with a big horn sheep on the trail. Epic Stop!

At times you feel like you are on a different planet. Make sure to give yourself the entire day to drive though the park so you don't feel rushed to skip things to get through it all. Lots of wildlife and unique landscapes! Yellow Mounds was my favorite!

This ended up being one of my favorite stops on a trek I did around Northern Arizona and Southern Utah, and it was the one place I didn't think we needed to spend much time at. I was wrong. This place is amazing! It doesn't mention it in the adventure but it does cost $20 to enter the park and it's good for 7 days. If you don't have AWD or 4WD, pay attention to flash flooding warnings before embarking on the scenic drive, seriously. Once your done with trek, I recommend going on a horseback adventure around the monuments. John Wayne style! =)
