Today is our last day vacationing in the Southwest United States. As I want to do on trips of this nature, I took plenty of photographs. Of course, the Grand Canyon was most scenic, but I’d actually say Sedona was my favorite visit from a sheer awe standpoint. The red rocks were insane, and hiking atop the Cathedral Vortex for sunrise was an all time classic memory. Monument Valley and Santa Fe were not too shabby, either.
Below find select photos from all four locations. I ran out of battery for a few days so some of the shots were taken with my Samsung Galaxy Note. You can see my complete set here.
