From Arizona we went north to southern Utah, then home via California.

We stayed in the lodge at Zion National Park. Here are the surrounding mountains at sunset.

At the end of the trail heading up the Virgin River people leave their shoes and borrow a walking stick.

Continuing on up the river from here requires a willingness to get wet, and a certain sense of style.

We made a quick stop at Bryce Canyon just as the first snows of winter began to arrive.

Down in Bryce Canyon one is immediately surrounded by hoodoos. Not a comforting feeling.

Josie, another of Raina's cousins, and her husband, John, let us stay at their home in Walnut Creek. There were plenty of cats for everyone.

Raina gets to feed "The Girls" in Josie and John's back yard.
