Sightseeing via RV in Utah & Colorado
About a month ago, I flew the RV-7 on a ten-day cross-country to/from Baltimore to western Colorado and eastern/southern Utah. I did most of my flying in the morning when the sun lit everything up and the air was smooth. I was fortunate to have outstanding weather the entire trip and was able to take some great pictures of awesome scenery in such places as the Black Canyon NM, Arches NP, Canyonlands NP, Lake Powell, Capital Reef, Dinosaur NM, Bryce Canyon NP, Zion NP, and many other incredible places that aren't national parks. In my opinion, it's the best flying from a scenery point of view in the U.S. (although I have not flown Alaska). I put together a web log of my trip so you can see some of the great pictures. LINK.

Beautiful!
Beautiful pix. Thanks for posting them. Flying out to that area is on my bucket list.

Beautiful pictures with an obvious talent for taking them. I'm glad you took advantage of your time out West to see some of the most impressive sights in the four corner States.
Hardly a day goes by that I don't give thanks for the opportunity to live in an area that has all this within one and a half hours from my home base. Cheers, Hans |
Very nice. Exceptionally good photography.
Hate to pick a nit, but the Black Canyon of the Gunnison is in Colorado, not New Mexico. Its a great shot though. thanks for posting these |
Wonderful photography! My wife and I have flown our RV-10 over a lot of these places in the last couple of years and it is a spectacular part of this wonderful country. One other nitpick. Cedar Breaks is in Utah, just outside of Cedar City, Utah.

My dream trip. Echo - Outstanding photography! Thanks for posting.
RE: nitpicks - that just tells that in the air we don't see the boundaries - it's just one big sky. Lets keep it that way. |
