We were lucky enough to be able to spend yet another 10 weeks in the USA, touring Utah, Colorado and Arizona in an RV and doing lots of hiking in the National Parks, etc., We also spent a few days in Chama, New Mexico, photographing the Cumbres & Toltec Railroad, and a far too brief, 24 hours at Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada. We saw some beautiful countryside, had some great weather and met many nice people. The fall colours in Colorado were magnificent. We were lucky to get a backcountry permit to hike in the Grand Canyon, down the South Kaibab Trail to Bright Angel campground then back up to Indian Garden and then to the South Rim - 3 days in total(2 nights). We also made one night backcountry hikes in Zion NP and in the Needles District of Canyonlands. Overall, a great trip!
