Raush's Western Roadtrip

**Raush** · 04-24-12, 12:06 AM

Well I got back from my three week long roadtrip yesterday and am still stuck in the west coast time zone, here is a small sampling of pictures from my trip while I wait until I get tired enough to sleep.

We went to:
St. Louis
Colorado Springs - Garden of the Gods and Pike's Peak
The Great Sand Dunes
Mesa Verde
Million Dollar Highway
Hell's Backbone
Natural Bridges National Park
Glen Canyon
Bryce Canyon National Park
Zion National Park
The Grand Canyon

Over 5300 miles of driving, but it was well worth it

Ugh I don't know why they won't show up, I used to "insert picture" button exactly the same way I did in the first post

*edit - went through and re-added all the pictures, they show up for me now, can you see them?

**space.cowboy** · 04-24-12, 08:46 AM

I can see them fine. Could see them when you first posted them too.

The skybridge is something like a 5 hour drive away from the actual Grand Canyon National Park and is located on an indian reservation. We didn't get a chance to go see it, but I did hike all the way to the bottom of the grand canyon, spent the night there, and came up the next morning. So I think I win either way.
