Anytime you step inside one of the National Parks you&#8217;re in for a treat, as they say here.  It so happens that I am more likely to enjoy the desert-heavy, canyon-ridden, spectacular cliffs carved by the Colorado river (and friends) &#8230; at least I believe so and will be able to confirm when we head over to Alaska in a week.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we got to see 4 of them this time!
