Capitol Reef National Park is one of the lessor visited parks in Utah but in my opinion still very scenic.

When we stopped at the visitor center, I saw this cool picture of this old barn up on one of the walls. I thought it made a great composition so I had to capture it.

Luckily it's only a mile or 2 down from the visitor center at the Gifford Homestead.

Per the National Park service website... The original home was built in 1908 by polygamist Calvin Pendleton. He and his family occupied it for eight years. The original house had a combined front room/kitchen and two small bedrooms. An outside ladder accessed two upstairs bedrooms. Pendleton also constructed the barn and smokehouse, as well as the rock walls near the house and on the mesa slopes above it.

Wishing all my Flickr friends a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you, my dear friends, for all your comments and faves!

The lighting this morning at Glacier National Park was amazing, as some bright splotches of golden light broken though stormy skies following an impressive lightning storm. I thought the storm was going to prevent my boat trip and Grinnell Glacier hike from happening, but the storm cleared up just in time.

This marmot in Wyoming had a nice perch to view the morning ...

Came upon this view while hiking up to Lake Agnes there in Banff National Park. Just had to stop and take a shot ... hard to do this view justice but liked the interplay of tall pines and the peaks and the patch of blue sky through the clouds.

Late day as the last of the light hits the peaks at Glacier National Park.

Some of the most beautiful erosion I've seen.
