It gets interesting . . . and beautiful!What’s In a Name? Dead Horse Point State Park
Phew! It has been a LONG couple of years but so glad to be back with you! Hope all is well with you and yours!!
So, what’s in a name? I’ll get to that shortly, but Dead Horse Point State Park, only 13 miles from Canyonlands National Park Island in the Sky, is an often-overlooked gem. Come on along to see the wonder of this very small state park–canyons, cliffs, and the Colorado River.

Part 3–Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
Well, it has taken me a long time to get this to you, but I know you’ll enjoy seeing geology from the beginning of time in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. No kidding. So what took so long?
I took a four-day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park which I will share another day. The bad news is I’ve spent most of June recovering from altitude sickness and dehydration. I had taken precautions so was very surprised how hard it hit me. This getting old thing is for the birds too! Just can’t fight off ill effects as you can when younger. These high elevations are no joke, so have studied up on most effective preparation for next time, because you know there’ll be a next time my friend!
In the meantime, let’s visit the South Rim of Black Canyon National Park. I know you’ll enjoy this!
