Custer State Park is a great place, not for 'ol George, but for the abundant wildlife. These Mountain Sheep stay pretty high up on the mountains and are a good argument for a long lens.

Moab, Utah is a paradise! I think it has something for just about anyone. Great outdoor activities abound! You can raft down the mighty Colorado and Green Rivers, hike in the red rock canyons or in the beautiful Manti La Sal Forest, repel, go fishing, mountain bike on world class trails, or just take a simple walk in some of the most unique and breath taking areas on earth.
You can't beat the weather. If you love the heat - the summers in Moab bring it. Summer temps can top 110 F. However, escape from the heat is only a short drive up the La Sal Mountain Loop Road, where temperatures can be up to 30 degrees cooler.
Moab and the surrounding area is historically and geographically rich with ancient Pueblo/Anasazi dwellings and cliff art to modern Native American cultural influences. The unique geography has drawn movie producers, including Stephen Spielberg and are a draw for amture and professional photographers alike. You can'f find many places that are blessed with as many state and national parks, forests, and heritage sites! Cuisine and shopping opportunities are enriched by the many ethnic and cultural influences in the area. Moab even had a hand in the Cold War (as a uranium mining center - no worries, no enriched uranium and the mills have been closed for many years).

I had never been to Death Valley before and was only familiar with the name from the 1950's TV show "Death Valley Days" (yes, I did watch it). I was impressed with the beauty of the emptiness and desolation, the distant blue mountains with the expanses of flat sand, dotted with lacey, brownish 'plant life'. The salt flats of Badwater Basin (lowest place in the US at 282ft below sea level) were intriguiging and a gret place to do ultra close-ups of salt formations, but what made me fall in love withn the area was absolutly marvelous, drop-dead gorgeous array of colors of the minerals. These images represent just some of what turned me into giggling school girl at every turn (please don't take offense).
Found mainly along hwy 190, between Badwater Basin and Stovepipe Wells, the sand (or gravel) consists of so many colors you have to name them descriptively. Chocolate, carmel, turquoise, mustard, vanilla... on and on. Some of the absolute best displays are found along Artist Drive. A curvy, dippy ride thru the colors of creation.
Driving back from Badwater I spotted some flashes of solid color along the side of the road. Scretching to a stop I discovered it was a small bolder containing pockets of mineral deposits before they are turned into graceful flows of luscious flavors. I shouldn't admit this, but if that bolder was any lighter, it would have a special place in my home right now. Oh! To posses a piece of God's pallet.

We weren't sure if there was a fire in the mountains or a storm rolling in. We soon found out. STORM!
