Welcome to the photo blog for David and Janet Elmore. You can find pages full of photos from our trips with Vanessa or Savanna (our van-based RV) and pages that are a record of events with lots of photos. Many of our travel photos are connected to a map at the bottom of our posts so you can see where we went and can look for photos at specific places.

Below is a list of recent posts.

City of Rocks, NM

AZ to NM

We left Catalina State Park in Arizona today and headed east to New Mexico. This is the beginning of our drive east and north heading towards Indiana. There is not much to comment upon as most of the drive is...

Waterfall Trail

Hoover Dam

Ubehebe Crater

Wed 1-Mar-2017 California, Travel |

We had two fairly strenuous hikes today. In the morning we drove back to Zabriskie Point to see the colorful hills in a different light. Then we walked the 2.5 mile Badlands loop. The loop gives you a first...

We started the day with a return to Desolation Canyon for a hike up Desolation Canyon which is to the right of the canyon we hiked yesterday (Desolation Canyon East).  Again, this was a lovely quiet canyon...
