Southwest Feild Trip 2008

In May 2008, I took a two-week trip to the American Southwest which included stops in Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. I visited many places but focused on three National Parks; Zion National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and Mesa Verde National Park. Initially, I felt two weeks would be plenty of time for me to really experience what defined the area. As I would soon find out, it was just a sampling that left me wanting more. Through the following posts, I hope to convey how my experience in this amazing environment left its mark upon me.
