We headed south from Joshua Tree National Park along Box Canyon Rd. Taking Box Canyon cuts off a few miles from driving I-10 to Hwy 86 south. Not only does it save some miles but it also is a nice, quiet, peaceful, scenic drive right along the San Andreas Fault.

Joshua Tree National Park – Cottonwood, California
We have stayed at Joshua Tree National Park in the northwest corner at Black Rock Campground and thoroughly enjoyed the area. We explored the central area of the park also but never got down to the southern area. So we decided to go to Cottonwood. And they said it could

River Island State Park sits along the Colorado River north of Parker. We have stayed at this park before in the spring and it was packed full. We had to have reservations to get in during that time. This time of year, early December, we basically had the park to

Since I am just finishing the book “the Visitors” by Sally Beauman, I felt this post was appropriate. As Lucy, in “The Visitors” travels to Cairo and on to Luxor and the Valley of Kings and witnesses the unfolding events of Howard Carter’s excavations and eventual discovery of King Tutankhuman’s

Yes, I love my waterfront. The first time we went to Lake Havasu State Park I remarked how I wanted to come back and get a waterfront site. Well this year we did. We choose the week of Thanksgiving to spend at this beautiful park nestled right in the city

Another beautiful campground at Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada is Arch Rock Campground. It is right next to Atlatl Campground (actually around the corner from Atlatl Rock), has 29 sites, some large, some small, some uneven, and the entire campground is a bit more primitive than Atlatl. All

Sand Hollow State Park is just south of Hurricane, Utah and about 20 minutes northeast of St. George and sits along the Sand Hollow Reservoir. The reservoir, surrounded by red sand dunes, beaches, and rocks offers boating and fishing and even though it is quite small it is very

The South Campground is actually just directly “north” of the Visitor Center and the Watchman Campground is just directly “south” of the Visitor Center. Only the Watchman Campground accepts reservations and if you don’t
