Frankie's adventure pt. II

[cmayer31]

I guess I really did take some pictures . I'll add the second part to reduce the number, a little late I know, of pictures that I'll post in one thread.

On the way back down the road from playing in the snow we all hiked to some nearby waterfalls;



And begged the dogs to pose and they did:



Well, all except my psycho mutt

Who wanted to go in the water:

Not caring that the water was like this just past her:

Sadly Kay, her dad, Mufasa, and Kiara started their long haul back across the country, see her threads for some great pictures on their way back, while Frankie and the huskies went in search of more snow.

They searched high and low, even crossing logs for the white stuff:


They started to see signs of it:


And then it hit Nebo right in the face!


Actually there was a ton of snow on the Nebo loop and we were playing catch with the dogs using the snowballs. But what happens when they miss? They have to find it!

hahaha, funny captions, again! you did take a lot of photos, but with subjects like that, who could help it?

[cmayer31]

There's something about snow in the middle of May that just makes dogs go CRAZY, or maybe they really are just crazy all the time .







Then we went to admire the grand peak that Nebo shares his name with:

Mount Nebo!

Then sadly it came time for Frankie and I to leave Utah . We'll be back though because she insists on snow and because it's that much prettier than just about anywhere else I've been.

However, we had to make one stop on the way. I've lived only a days drive from this place my entire life, but had never seen it, so we drove a bit, 6 hours, out of our way and I'd say it was more than worth it to gaze upon


Reeds!

No seriously, we went to see the Grand Canyon in Arizona and I didn't take any pictures.




Yeah, right! I hope I didn't get too many people excited at the thought of no more pictures, but I did take some at the canyon; it's an amazing place.




Frankie couldn't get enough of it:


And I can't blame her:


We even found a natural window to such a beautiful sight:

And then as if to say goodbye the Grand Canyon National Park put on a natural light show that no camera could ever do justice to. I just sat an stared into the canyon until I realized that I still had an 8+ hour drive home. I actually stopped for the night and found a dog friendly motel in order to get some shut eye.

I finally snapped out of my nature induced haze and took some pictures on the way out:



We'll be back to see the Grand Canyon from all angles too. It's just that amazing.

Frankie and I had a great time and I hope you enjoyed our tale. One last one of Ms. Frankenstein:


Thanks again for viewing

That scenery is magnificent. I get caught up in nature's beauty, too. I've been late for work so many times because I pull over to watch and lose track of time. I wanna go to Utah!

I love that final photo of Frankie, she's quite the pretty girl.
