Whew! Another epic road trip is in the record books. One of the big highlights: Zion National Park. It was also my biggest disappointment.

As an amateur photographer, I couldn’t wait to get those shots of the narrow canyons with the ribbons of light and color.

The risk to my knees was too great without the proper tools. Mission aborted.

Have you ever been so excited about a goal that you didn’t stop and think about the best way to get it? That’s what happened here. Silly me.
