Getting Lost in New Mexico and Finding the Grand Canyon: A Journey in Photos

Took a wrong turn north of Santa Fe. Ended up in the Carson National Park. A great wrong turn.

 

Somewhere in northern New Mexico.

I want to live here.

 

Long, straight roads.
Only irresponsible parents leave their four children in four separate states.

 

Arizona = breathtaking.
First view of the Grand Canyon came in the bus, looking out over a guard rail. Cade, in the passenger seat, went kind of white and said, "Oh...my." Lucy got the seeds of tears in her eyes, along with a huge smile, and said, "We'd better keep track of Sammy."

 

Kids being kids, wandering off the trail into "unimproved areas." On average there is one death by falling each year.
My desert flower.
The California Condor, wingspan six feet, waits for one of the aforementioned casualties to occur.

  2. WHAT SPLENDOR TO BEHOLD, A REAL GIFT TO YOUR FAMILY, AND SOMETIMES IT IS FUN GETTING LOST, AS LONG AS THE GAS TANK ISN’T NEAR EMPTY. I’M SURE IF YOU PONDER THIS, THERE MIGHT EVEN BE A BOOK TO WRITE, ORTO FILE AWAY FOR ANOTHER TIME YET TO COME. I’M SO GLAD I DECIDED TO ‘FOLLOW’ YOU.

  3. I remember while I was taking pictures/video I just kept thinking “This will never do it justice.”

    I wanna go back!

  6. Great pictures!

    You’re building incredible memories with your family on trips like this. As a kid, I was fortunate enough to have seen quite a large number of States and historic sites during family trips across the country with my family…and I still look back on those memories as some of the most beautiful moments in my life. This is absolutely the good life.
