On the way home from Yellowstone NP we spent the night in Beaver, UT. The next morning, we determined that we had some free time and decided to make a detour to Bryce and Zion National Parks. On the way there (on UT-12) we discovered Red Canyon, which is part of the Dixie National Forest. From the Native Americans who traveled the canyons, to people like J.W. Humphry who constructed the tunnels, Red Canyon has fascinated people for centuries. Unique vermilion-colored rock formation and stands of Ponderosa pines make the canyon exceptionally scenic. This picture was taken at the visitor center at the west end of the canyon complex.

This picture was taken at the Salt Wash View Area which is located on the north side of Interstate Highway 70 about 52 miles west of Green River, Utah. This view area has spectacular views of the San Rafael Swell and the stupendous rock formations. This view area is on the lonely stretch of Interstate between Green River and Salina where there are no towns or services along the highway for 110 miles. This picture is looking towards the West.

On our trip to Chama, NM we stopped in Albuquerque, NM overnight. Albuquerque is the site of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta Which is a yearly hot air balloon festival. The Balloon Fiesta is a nine-day event occurring in the first full week of October, and has over 500 hot air balloons each year far from its humble beginnings of merely 13 balloons in 1972. The event is the largest balloon festival in the world, followed by the Grand Est Mondial Air in France. While we were there in mid-September, there were already people preparing their balloons for the festival. While preparing to leave in the morning we saw this balloon floating in the sky. I was lucky enough to capture this picture as the balloon appeared to fly "over" the moon.

This picture was taken at Sycamore Cove beach which is part of the Point Mugu State Park. We had gone there for one of the local astronomy club's dark sky events. This is where they bring out their telescopes and allow the general public access to them to view the stars and planets. This picture, of the setting sun, was taken as we were waiting for it to get dark enough to utilize the various telescopes which had been setup.
