South West USA in April/May: Golf, flora, fauna and natural wonders
with Rick Stokes, Associate Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics
After a long drive from Vancouver to Palm Desert, CA we joined friends at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club for 10 days of golf, horse trekking and sightseeing including the Salton Sea and Joshua Tree National Park. We then made our way to Page AZ to visit the Antelope Slot Canyons and Horseshoe Bend. Then onto Monument Valley and Mystery Valley on the AZ - UT state line. Next, we travelled north to Moab UT to visit Arches National Park, Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point. Although all these sights were “touristy”, we were pleasantly surprised with our experiences at all the places we visited and were amazed by the spectacular scenery. Somewhat exhausted, we finally drove back home via OR and WA. I will show photos of some of the animals, plants and geological wonders we saw on our travels.
