smskelton Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 This is a picture of Mt. Cook in New Zealand as the sun starts to set. Mt. Cook hotel is located at the start of a three mile trail that takes you to a lake at the base of the mountain that has floating icebergs that have calved from the glaciers on the mountain. There is a bronze statue of Sir Edmund Hillary looking up at the mountain. To get to the lake up the trail you have to cross two swaying cable supported suspension bridges that cross the glacial melt stream that is running gray with chunks of ice that flows beneath about 100 ft down. Each year, we make our own calendar of pictures we like and places we've been. This one made the calendar. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Clem Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Can't find it. I did this a couple years ago and saved it as a TIFF, but since it was a free editor it doesn't have original exit data, the original date is not there. It is on one of my hard drives somewhere .....sorry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monument Valley is kind of a long way from anywhere, but when you combine it with a trip to the Grand Canyon and Canyon de Chelly on the Navaho Reservation it is a great trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smskelton Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 You don't get to the Grand Canyon by stopping at a pullout from a major highway. You have to drive into the National Park some miles off the road, roughly around 30 to 60 miles from the main highways depending on which way you enter. We live in Oregon in the summer and Arizona the rest of the year and often we drive by the entrance on the route between states. One year we decided to drive into the park, even though the weather was stormy. The canyon was filled with clouds, but as we spent time there, the sun came out and the clouds started to breakup showing some of the canyon. That trip, where you know the canyon is there but you can't see it was one of my favorite trips because the beauty and mystery of the canyon was revealed between clouds and rainbows. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
