Once again I'm traveling for the park service, this time spending time at the parks surrounding Flagstaff, Arizona -
Wupatki National Monument,
Walnut Canyon National Monument and
Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. For this trip, I get to spend time in park housing instead of staying at a hotel so I am getting a chance to enjoy the peace and quiet of Wupatki. The temperatures are staying in the 85 degree range - a pleasant change from Phoenix's 110 plus!
My walk this morning was quite a bit different!

The view from the park house. |
On almost every hill around Wupatki you can see pueblo's and other structures. Look closely and you can see a wall on the top of this small hill. It blends in really well.

It was so beautiful this morning!
Of course, walks aren't the same without the boys. How I wish a couple of fuzzy butts could have joined me this morning!
I hope you all have a great week! I'll be a little behind on checking blogs, but will try to catch up this weekend!
My mom & dad went to Wupatki and Crater Volcano when they traveled around Az for 2 weeks back in 2005.. They say they were amazing places and it's great you get an opportunity to stay there - although we know you miss your pups.

Many years ago I was a guide at a historic site. I worked closely with many Park Service employees. But as nice as Philadelphia was, the Independence National Park could never beat your beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great trip and don't miss the boys too much.
You are getting to spend time in some truly beautiful Parks. We absolutely love Walnut Canyon! Enjoy the tranquility and cooler temps!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely indulge in a holiday soon, Sam. I sooooo wish we had 85 degrees here. What's s-u-n again? It's been so long since I last saw it! Love Rolo The Retriever xx
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't it just beautiful there! And you are right, all you need are your two golden beauties:)

I have always thought taking The Herd along on business trips would make the trips more fun. Maybe less productive, but certainly more fun.
ReplyDeletethat place is really cool and I'm that you have a great time.
