Road Trip! California, Nevada, and Utah

Here's some photos from my July 2002 trip through the amazing landscape of Utah, inluding the Bonneville Salt Flats, Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce, and Zion National Parks. I also made a stop at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada.

Pete -- Great shots! Love the desert scenes. Glad to hear things are going so well. Lots of work, getting into the union, BENIFITS and killing a couple of deer with your rental car! OOPS! Well, right up until then the road trip must of been great. Glad to hear you're alright. Looks like we've lost you to the left coast but it looks like there's great opportunity for you -- hang in there! Keep the pictures coming. Paul and Shari

Ansel Adams watch out!!! Pete, as usual your work is breathtaking. It takes a special talent to have the eye for photography that you posess. I hope that you have much success in your new venture, and I want you to know that we are all so very proud of you. Take care little Brother! Steve, Michele, Shannon, Brendan

Hi Pete, particularly liked the shots in Bryce Canyon, the contrast in hot and cool colours really make great photos. Did you video any of the trip? I'd love to see that!

Pete, We have seen some of the scenery you captured. We think Utah is one of the most colorful states. Nature sure has it made on anything man can make! Hope you get a chance to see the Grand Canyon. Great pics! Keep up the good work! Marge and John
