Southwest Photo Tour - 2003

I have been wanting to take a picture taking tour of the southwest for quite some time. Tamara encouraged me to do it this year. Of course she opted out, not finding wandering around the desert to be her cup of tea. So I plotted a course, that I later found out was called the Grand Circle. And of course, I tried to do too much in the time I allowed myself. But I rationalized by convincing myself that this was a scouting trip and more in-depth trips would follow.

I basically followed a counter-clockwise route starting at Hoover Dam, proceeding through the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, up to Arches national park then working my way to Bryce, Zion and Death Valley with a few other stops in between.
