Melanie enjoying a sunny day on her back patio before the trip to the Hidden Staircase	A dog contemplates adventure	Melanie asking if it's time to go yet
Melanie being patient	Melanie looking rather regal	Melanie not happy with the photo shoot
A dog ready to enter the Hidden Staircase (probably not even accomplished by any native american dogs in ancient history)	Melanie on top of the mesa	A really happy girl
Looking at the next mesa	It's really great to be on the Hidden Staircase mesa	One of the unusual rock formations on top of the mesa
Happy to be with her dad	Looking to the west at fifty mile mountain	Great interest in the distance
The queen of all she perviews	What a day!	It doesn't get any better than this
Melanie on top of Utah	Exploring the endless mesa top	Melanie relaxing in an interesting formation
Nothing like Utah	Why would I want to be anywhere else?	This is the life!
My dad sure likes to take pictures of me	Devils rock is a great place to look at lake powell	I enjoy modeling for my dad
I see something in the distance that needs to be bit	What a beautiful day!	Another neat spot on the top of the Mesa
This is the place, not Salt Lake	My dad takes a self portrait of us	In the wash below our campsite
One of the many washes near our campsite	On my way up the wash north of our campsite	Another shot of me in the wash north of our campsite
What a beautiful place!	A girl needs to rest	Why does dad insist on taking a picture of me with the sun in my face?
Just below our campsite	Another shot in the wash just below our campsite	Looking back towards the Hidden Staircase Mesa
Another shot looking back to the Hidden Staircase mesa	This picture is in one of the many wash mazes	A closeup
	Back at our campsite	I am really enjoying myself!
Hey! Is this hole another arch?	This trip is very exhausting	I thought you would enjoy a shot of the mesa
Isn't that enough pictures?	Man! I am really tired of hiking.	Now that's an arch.
My dad loves to take pictures of me.	Is that a bunny rabbit	What a view!
I thought I saw a bunny rabbit	My dad loves to hold me like he did when I was a little puppy. I kinda like it too.	What a view
I like our campsite	It's nice to find some shade	A girl can really daydream out here
This is the life!	I am always on guard.	O' that's the Hidden Staircase behind me.
The point of the Hidden Staircase mesa	I really hate for this trip to end!	The Hidden Staircase.
