We choose a day tour from Jasper to Miette Hotsprings along the wide winding Athabasca River where the Subalpine Fir forests are still heallthy and have not been affected by the huge fires this summer. Many bighorn sheep are in this area. They cross the road to get to the river. We enjoyed a lunch picnic like most days.

We stopped at an often overlooked viewpoint of the wild and scenic Athabasca River. The place is called Goats & Glacier Lookout. It was partially closed to the gigantic fire that has ravaged in and around Jasper starting in July 2024. The fire distroyed many building and old growth forests covering an area of 130 square miles, a total tragedy.

Dutch Lake in Clearwater, BC, right in front of our cabins, our base camp for Wells Gray Provincial Park. Today was the only day of our tour it was raining in the morning. When it is nice weather, we are renting kayaks here and, with a bit of luck, can spot the rare Painted Turtles and different water birds.

Our first stop on day 2 of the Native Trails was Desert View Watchtower within the Grand Canyon National Park. This exceptional building was designed by famous architect Mary Colter in 1932 who built a replica of ancient peoples watchtowers. She was ahead of her time...

Driving on the freeway, I saw these wild mustangs. Took the next exit, parked, and walked to see them from a safe distance. Suddenly, they approached quickly. I crouched down on a rock and did not move. Tensions were high among the stallions, they bit and kicked each other. Two of them came dangerously close, sniffing at me and I stopped breathing. I hoped they would not kick me. It took quite some time until I was able to walk away safely. This was on the way to my tour startingin Phoenix, Arizons.

Today, I am on my way from Oregon to a new small group tour in Phoenix, Arizona. It is the first tour this year I will be leading called Native Trails, exploring Southern Arizona and New Mexico and the culture of the Native tribes living in these area. Participants are from Germany. Will share more photos while on tour.
