I like to take road trips to see the amazing natural beauty of this world we call home. I am not a professional photographer - just a shmo with a phone - but I will share my journeys with anyone who wishes to join. Every photo here was taken by me.

I don't do a lot of road-tripping in the winter (I hate the cold) so roadtrip photos will be few and far between for a while. In the meantime, here's the snow on my car this morning. #roadtrip #winter #snow #ihatecoldweather

Route 93 just south of Wendover, NV. Nothing special, just an amazing sky and view on its own. #roadtrip #nevada #travel #photography #nature

Another view of the Grand Canyon, taken from the vicinity of Mather Point. The patchwork clouds made a nice shadow pattern. #grandcanyon #roadtrip #travel #nature #nationalpark #photography

When a (nearly) unstoppable force meets an immovable object - Meteor Crater, Arizona! Another main reason for this road trip! #roadtrip #nature #meteor #crater #travel

Stopped in Petrified Forest National Park, AZ, and found this neat monument to old Route 66 that used to pass through here. This is (what's left of) a 1932 Studebaker! #nationalpark #travel #roadtrip #route66 #classiccars

All I see is that, on Wikipedia, it's called a monadnock. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiprock

I've never seen a definition for monadnock that includes climate description - only that it's a hill or mountainous formation that rises above the surrounding flat plains. I believe this still fits the definition while also being a volcanic throat.

One of the main reasons for my road trip last May: Ship Rock, New Mexico! Not exactly a mountain nor a volcano, it's a monadnock. This rock wall in the foreground is one of its spokes and it stretches over 5.7 miles (9.1 km) from the central plume. #roadtrip #travel #nature #photography #newmexico

Awesome! I plan on returning next spring and visiting the southern part of the park, the "Needles," next time.

Sorry - that's east of Capitol Reef, not west.

UT-24 just west of Capitol Reef National Park: compared to the colorful beauty of the Reef, this stretch of highway has an almost alien-world feel, like a highway on Venus. #travel #nature #utah #southernutah
