We felt Wyoming was going to be all about the scenery, and it was. Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Parks take up a huge chunk of the state, then add in Bighorn National Park and then add in all the state forests that surround the National Parks, there's not a lot of state left. We had booked a campsite at Bridge Bay on Yellowstone Lake, if you want a site in Yellowstone you need to book. We entred from the southeast which took us through the Teton NP and...

We entred Utah just north of Page, Page was where we visited Antelope Canyon, the photos where on the Arizona blog. Antelope Canyon was just incredible and stunning, well worth the money we had to pay for our guide. Utah though has also been amazing, our first stop was Zion National Park, here we were treated to massive sandstone mountains that were once sand dunes, absolutely stunning and to see trees growing out of what looks to be solid rock was just incredibl...

Then Wednesday it was quite cool and windy. We left Orlando on Thursday morning with the threat of rain and by the afternoon it was raining, and...

It was a long 32 hours from when we left Perth to when we landed in St Louis, and despite all the warnings about immigration and customs getting into the states, we went through very quickly end efficiently. When we had left the US it was late summer, we hadn't given any thought to what it would look like in early spring, none of the trees had any leaves, making it look like Australia does after a bushfire, not very pretty. The upside is that we will see it all ...
