So even though I got back from this trip about 3 weeks ago, i have been extremely busy and haven't had time to update this thing until now. So please forgive me that it's taken this long, but i am doing it now and will try to catch up as soon as i can.
Ok, the second half of the geology trip was super fun. We went to the Grand Canyon, Glen Canyon Dam, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Wupatki Indian Ruins, and Fossil Butte. All were very cool places, but i think my favorite was Bryce Canyon. It was like nothing i've ever seen before. here are some pictures of the different places:

| Glen Canyon Dam. This is what keeps the Colorado River looking cleaner and smaller than it naturally would. |

Wupatki Indian Ruins. It was pretty cool, but you couldnt really touch anything. But there was this awesome hole in the ground that blew cold air out at you. It has something to do with a large underground cave and different air pressures. It's pretty cool. It also makes for a great photoshoot.
here's the blowhole.
here's a picture of Jessica from the blowhole photoshoot. |
