Sulphur Paintbrush, I think, photographed along the Hidden Lake trail at Logan Pass in Glacier National Park, Montana.

Taken along the Potash Road which follows the Colorado River west of Moab, Utah.

This is Newspaper Rock, a rock covered with Indian pictographs. The rock is near the entrance to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park in Utah.

This is Dusty Star Mountain and Citadel Mountain from the trailhead to St. Mary's Falls in Glacier National Park, Montana.

There's a story that goes with this photo. While we were in Arizona on our recent trip I hiked the Courthouse Butte trail in the Sedona area and halfway along the loop decided to do the Bell Rock climb, but misunderstood the information I had. The climb was actually just a short and easy climb to a flat area on the north side of the butte. From there, instead of going back down, I followed what I thought was a trail and ended up on this side, the south side of the butte on the fold about two thirds of the way up which proved rather narrow and precarious. I ended up scrambling to the notch on the west (left side of the photo) and climbing down from there. The inset shows how narrow and steep the "trail" this side of the butte was. The photo was taken from the Courthouse Butte loop, a trail I hiked by myself while my wife relaxed in a hotel room in Flagstaff.

This was the "trail" I followed when I climbed Bell Rock and lost my way, a very precarious and difficult scramble along the south side of the rock.

These are the berries of Desert Mistletoe, photographed along the trail to Lost Palms Oasis in Joshua Tree National Park.
