Our 2022 Family Reunion Road Trip was amazing. Drove over 3100 miles through 5 states. The Estes Park KOA might be the best on the planet. The owners are amazing. We got to spend so much time with family and no trouble on the road. Only 1 road closure detour, but that led us to an Alligator sanctuary in southern Colorado. Best Road trip ever. Too much to recap on Social Media. Can’t wait for the next one. #squibs #squids #squidkidsink #sketch #sketches #sketching #illustration #hashtagoverload #roadtrip #familyreunion #topock66 #walnutcanyon #monumentvalley #mesaverdenationalpark #pagosasprings #greatsanddunesnationalpark #gardenofthegods #estespark #buffalobillcody #terrybisonranch #moabgiants #goblinvalley #brokespurinn #thunderjunctionallabilitiespark #sevenmagicmountains #eddieworld https://www.instagram.com/p/ChjX3RCuU4I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My boyfriend and I were nearly finished hiking Walnut Canyon National Monument (near the Grand Canyon) when this little feller flopped down onto the trail out of a group of agave plants. He hunkered low onto the soil, snowflakes swirling around him as my boyfriend crouched to pick him up. The lizard didn't want to leave the warmth of his hands as he gently tried to place him back into the greenery. I snapped this picture of him and spent some time the other night trying to decipher exactly which type of lizard he (or she) is. I have settled on the Striped Plateau Lizard. Striped plateau lizards can be dark, gray-brown like this guy, or a more orange-brown, according to reptilesofaz.org. They also typically have two pale yellow stripes with dark brown splotches alongside them that run down the back. These lizards like to eat grasshoppers, can lay up to fifteen eggs at one time, and my personal favorite - they like to bask in the sunshine :)

Where does nature end and we begin? The more we can blur that line, the happier we will be.

One of our adventures today was a stop over in Flagstaff to explore Walnut Canyon, where we got to see the remnants of native cliff dwelling of the Sinagua tribe. It was amazing to see just how large this settlement must have been, as only a portiom of the dwellings are thought to have been uncovered in this canyon. See if you can spot the dwelling spaces in some of these photos. It's incredible to imagine how humans formed settlements in this terrain. The logistics of it are mind-boggling. #arizona #walnutcanyon #cliffdwellings #nativeamericanhistory #nativeamericanrespect #awesinspiring #remnantsofthepast #differentfunctionalontheroad https://www.instagram.com/p/BoSoAMXnza8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ruvmi5aab7p9

This was the hardest trail I ever done it. Windy, very thin air and about 1 mile down the canyon and back up. #igtravel #travelpics #tourist #travelawesome #travelgram #beautifuldestinations #instatravel #traveltheworld #wanderlust #travelphotography #ilovetravel #worlderlust #ourplanet #explore #adventure #travelourplanet #aroundtheworld #canyon #arizona #islandtrail #walnutcanyon #springbreak2018 (at Walnut Canyon National Monument)
