Top 10 Favorite Travel Photos of 2013 #4

2013 took me to 5 National Parks in 2 different countries coupled with a few state parks and a handful of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.  I visited palaces and fortresses, hiked mountains, summited 6 peaks, backpacked along ridge lines and through canyons.  The extraordinary views on my adventures provided a plethora of pictures to choose from.  Out of thousands of shots I took in 2013 it was tough to narrow it down to just 19 contestants for my Top 10 Favorite Travel Photos of 2013.  Come back each day over the next 3 days to check out my top ten!

#4 yet again is from Zion National Park.  I really wanted to spread out the love but this park was just THAT good.  Plus I love this shot.  A special shout out to my friend Deb for spontaneously trying to play with the deer!  I told her it was a terrible idea even though I hoped it would make a great shot.  Hope you like it!  You can read more about it in Day 7 of my southwest journey to find True North.

Have you ever gotten away with playing with wildlife?  Whats your favorite animal (no mine isn’t a deer… its a monkey!)?
