My friend, Andy, the Starr Van and I spent a month in the Southwest in April & May. The trip’s impetus was a ten day photography workshop we signed up for last year to raft the Grand Canyon’s Colorado River. And we added 10 more days on both sides to explore other locales in the region. In chronological order, we visited:

* The eastern rim of the Little Colorado River Gorge;
* The South Rim of the Grand Canyon;
* New Mexico’s Bisti and Valley of Dreams badlands;
* The monumental Chaco Canyon pueblo ruins;
* The Zuni Pueblo, including a ceremonial dance;
* The Grand Canyon, via a raft;
* Backcountry roads around Escalante, Utah;
* Badlands around Hanksville, Utah.
