Death Valley and Red Rock Conservation Area

One of the hottest places we have been
 
 
One very HOT day
Picture taken at the Visitors Center at the lowest point in the USA



Barren Land as far as you can see

Interesting Plateau
A very pretty place to take a leisurely trip through

Some of the wildlife in the area

Some of the mountains in the Conservation area



This is why it is called Red Rock

Grand Canyon Day One

Sorry these pictures are a day late due to not having access to the internet


One of the entrances to the Park







The Watchtower at Desert View




A view from Desert View




How true the words from this Psalm which was found at the Watchtower on one of the viewing stations




There are truly no words which can be said of the awe inspiring views at the Grand Canyon. I will let the pictures speak for themselves
