Most of us are in the Austin area. A few from San Antonio. We had a family from Florida join us this trip.

This is on my bucket list! I was so close when I was near Bluff & Goosenecks. Such amazing grounds to explore! Safe travels!

Nice travels Mike! Devil's tower at sunrise is an amazing site. When you were at Yellowstone, did you do the hike to the top of the mountain for the "Bird's Eye" view of Grand Prismatic?

Thanks. Unfortunately very little hiking that trip. I would have loved to have seen it from that vantage point. I tried to pack too much into one adventure. I didn't even get to see everything I had planned at Yellowstone. Next time.

I will definitely be putting this on the list. I have wanted to see these petroglyphs for a long time. You found a great looking camp too.The Maze District, Canyonlands National Park, Utah. July 2020.

When you get a clear shot of 'the high one', you stop and take it. Parks Highway, Trapper Creek Area.
Toklat River Rest Stop. Denali Park Road, Mile 53

No need to limit this thread to US National Parks. Here are some pics from Mossman Gorge in the Daintree National Park, Queensland, Australia.

Since Halloween is approaching, I thought some skeletons would be appropriate.

Got to love the Tetons on a clear day! I am torn... My mechanical side loves the Jeep pic. My artistic side loves the stream reflection pic. Thanks for sharing.

Since all eyes are on Nevada now here are some shots of the underground world of Lehman Caves, Great Basin National Park, NV.

Just got back from Sequoia and King's Canyon. Now THAT is an area that blends national park, forest, monument, state, and God knows what else land. One second you think youbare in a national park, the next you are on a dirt road heading through a gate into an area that looks like you might be the second person through the burn zone in the last 3 years.
None of this is particularly adventurous, and if you are familiar with the area you mostly understand why. Nothing is too technically adventurous anyway.
There was one section that was just recently reopened as far as I can tell. Little sand dunes plants still growing in the tire tread marks and everything when I went through. That meant that some sections were nothing but wood under tire from the trees shedding limbs.
According to the maps, there were at least three ways out of the area I made my way into. According to the 6 foot berm in the road, the two paths completely block by a tree, and the one path blocked by a tree, that someone only cut a path wide enough for a side by side to get through, I need a God damn chain saw.
The dirt roads were an absolutely fantastic break from the hiking trails.
