I love living in Colorado and we always look forward to hosting friends who appreciate the outdoors. In the spring of 2022, our good friends Keonia and JP came to see us (and celebrate my getting older, aka my birthday).

Renowned for its undulating walls and light beams, Antelope Canyon was named after the pronghorn antelopes that once roamed the area in abundance (more numerous than bison).
