After our hiking in the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff areas,my dad and I journeyed on to California. We entered via the Mojave Desert stopping to raft on Lake Havasu then traveled thru the desert to Death Valley National Park which had lots of neat places to explore.

Dogs are not allowed below the rim of Grand Canyon due to the heat and harsh desert terrain. Thus I had to stay in a kennel for the week that Dad was backpacking down there. Dad exited the Canyon,picked me up,and the next day I got to stretch my legs with a 12 mile hike along the Rim Trail. This trail follows the south rim from Grand Canyon Village out to Hermit`s Rest and back---6 miles each way. It is a mostly level trail and affords stunning views down into the canyon.

Dad wishes to share a link here. It shows pix of an underground Lava tube located in the national forest outside of Flagstaff,AZ. The lava tube is really an underground cave. I wasn`t with Dad since I was being treated for dehydration back at the Canyon Pet Hospital in Flagstaff.(I unfortunately suffered from the heat while hiking in White sands National Monument in NM) The pix of the Lava tube have descriptions with them.

Our first "port of call" on our recent fall trip was White Sands National Monument in southern NM. The sand here is pure white and it is easy to imagine oneself in a vast snowfield,save that it was HOT!

Woofs to all! My Dad created a new shutterfly photo site---we don`t like the changes made at Webshots where we previously uploaded our pix---and uploaded several photos to use for a 2013 calendar. They depict highlights of our recent trip. The photos with descriptions can be viewed here.
