First is our trip to Great Basin. We went in the beginning of June, but it still snowed on us. We went up to the spot where Dana proposed to eat our picnic lunch and it started snowing. We ate in the car. But not before taking these pictures:
We drove up Mt. Wheeler, which we couldn't do before because the road was closed. But the top of the mountain was cold and beautiful. I took a lot of pictures of the melting snow and Dana looked for bugs.
After that, we went on the cave tour. It's fun to go through again with another tour guide and see how the cave has changed.
Dana got a good picture this time of the cave's famous formation: a shield. 
We also took a picture in front of the same formation that we stood in front of the day we got engaged. Only one person got in the picture.
The weekend after Great Basin, Dana and I went camping at City of Rocks in Idaho.
The rocks were beautiful. 
It rained on us on Saturday, but we packed the tent up before that, so no worries. Dana wanted to go because there was a rock there said to be 2.5 billion years old. Dana climbed up to its base and touched it. The old rock is one of the "sisters:" in this picture, 
the one on the left. 
The park is swiss-cheese'd with privately owned land, so here are some of the formations with a cow in front of them, and a cool old structure.
Most recently, on Pioneer Day, Dana and I went to Capitol Reef National Park and then to Fish Lake and Koosharem, UT. We visited Pioneer Registry and Orion Rust.
We also hiked up to these things called "the tanks." They are pools up a small canyon that stay full of water for much of the summer.
After that we drove up to Fish Lake and enjoyed the cool lakeside weather.
Dana found bugs, a snake, a bat and a marmot.
The lake was beautiful and cool. On our way down to Koosharem, we saw this pretty rainbow. 
Koosharem is very small but they had really cool signs. 
We've been busy. Coming Soon! Summer fun: Washington!
