65:19 Some memorable, interesting and just plain good times in a tiny corner of the Western Deserts of the United States on a single trip during 2018.

  These photographs were selected from a single trip in a tiny part of the Western United States deserts. It's quite frustrating for a number of reasons when selecting pictures. Firstly, where does one search for subjects. Secondly, on another trip, we might have much better selection of photographs or even a single one of the same subjects. Thirdly, there is a limit to display. I'll stop there as I have expressed myself adequately and can now continue with that removed from my chest. Thanks for your patience. Hopefully, we'll see you from the other side! 

Jen focuses on the issues of climbing Angel's Landing in Zion National Park, Utah. She begins the initial ascent after reaching the platform below, a popular turning point, quite a long hike in-and-of-itself.

The addendum seated upon the 'Angel'.
Jen about to reach the peak, her 10th occasion.
Bryce Canyon in Utah.
Calico Basin and Hills in Nevada.
London's Tower Bridge has moved to Bryce for the winter. (Please: No swimming below.)
Bryce's Fairyland for humans. Spot and take the gap.
Arriving at Kelso Dunes for real fun. I love the way Jen smooths out the dune tops to 'cutting like edges' before commencing the climb.
Kelso Dunes in California at sunset. Jen heads home in the 'spotlight'.
That is a sunset indeed.
A contrast with 'Death Valley's' Mesquite Flats, a true treasure...not forgetting the Dunes, too.
A view from 'Molly's Nipple' outside Zion National Park.
A view of 'Molly's Nipple' as one of us went up for a more circumspect view.
And they say it never rains in the deserts. So why do we need rainbows?
The following 3 are from Observation Point in Zion National Park, Utah. Jen relaxes again.
The big Rocks of the park accompanied by rock-heads, too.
Wherever one wanders, one is surrounding in wonders.
Views from Red-and-Black Mountains in Nevada of a tiny section of Lake Mead.
Jen hikes through Snow Canyon, some amazing flora.
Jen positions herself on the way up to Turtle Head in Las Vegas. Mount Charleston peeps at rear.

Amboy Crater, California.
