Goodbye Wyoming
As I rode out of Wyoming, the peaks of Grand Teton National Park peeked out behind the farmhouses along the way. This family has the best back yard view of all time.

Staring down into the past
Staring down into the Grand Canyon from the North Rim is looking far back into the mists of time. The North Rim is so much brighter and greener than the South Rim, I wonder why so few go there.
