American Western Parks

Insight vacations provided my spouse and I an opportunity to tour several National Parks out west to include Bryce, Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, and Zion. Also visited places like Jackson Hole and Clearmont, Wyoming; and Custer, Lead, and Rapid City, South Dakota. As much as I desired to rent a vehicle and proceed to spend the most fruitful times during the day to photograph the good stuff, I was overwhelmingly over ruled. Consequently, I had to endure riding a coach and frequently attempted to shoot images through the window of a moving bus—the results were pitiful. Just ain’t my cup of tea. Of all the sites encountered, Bryce Canyon is head and shoulders above the rest. If you’ve considered going there, make plans. It’s worth the time.
