Thinking about a 7-to-10 day winter camping vacation across northern Arizona & New Mexico, reaching as far as where Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico all come together, sort of.
We have winter gear for a car camping trip (Dodge van). No 4WD, no snow tires. Will that be okay? What kind of altitudes, temperatures, and snow conditions are we likely to encounter?
Also, many campgrounds are seasonal. Will we have difficulty finding places to pitch a tent?

From voaspecialenglish.com | http It is a clear morning on the south side of the Grand Canyon. This is the starting point for Linda Glover Gooch. Little by little, the image starts to form. Thousands of people take pictures of the Grand Canyon every day in hopes of capturing its beauty. Linda Glover Gooch could have stayed home and copied a photograph of the canyon. But she says that would not be the same. LINDA GLOVER GOOCH: “Oh, there is a huge difference because you are in the atmosphere. You feel the air. Photos are nice, but they still lose some of the feeling that’s out there. And you experience it, you know, firsthand, so your emotions are there at the same time as you are doing the work.” This is what artists call plein air painting, in which the changing light and environment affect the work. Scott Kraynak is with the National Park Service. SCOTT KRAYNAK: “It’s painting quickly in nature to capture fleeting moments in nature of the light.” The National Park Service invites artists to make paintings that will later be sold. The money helps to pay for the building of an art gallery. Kraynak says many people first came to know the Grand Canyon through paintings. SCOTT KRAYNAK: “Not many people, I think, realize the importance of art in the national parks. Art first gave people a glimpse of what these areas looked like in the West, before TV and Internet. Art was a big factor in these areas being set aside. Art was big factor of popularizing national parks.” The …

Product Description Yellowstone National Park is the focal point of Wyoming tourism; however, there is so much more if you know where to look. From rolling prairie, to badlands, to deep forests, to high mountain lakes, and breathtaking peaks, Wyoming’s diverse landscape is second to none. In addition, the Wyoming plains contain a rich history of pioneer trails that served as the gateway to the west throughout the 19th century. Most Wyoming travel guides are written to explain tourist attractions in detail once you are already there and require much time and effort to plot a course across the state. This remarkable guide, on the other hand, has the entire state laid out by the highway mile markers so you will always know what is ahead and exactly how to get there.

Erosive forces continue to shape the Grand Canyon today, millions of years after it began to form. Normal channel erosion alone, however, cannot explain the many kilometers that separate its rims. The strongest explanation holds that the major factor in the widening of the canyon has been activity from tributary drainage systems — the side streams, rivulets, and gullies outside the main river channel. The greatest erosive force in these tributaries is the fast-moving landslide called a debris flow.
