My student, Chris Brown, is working on his CFI. Part of the course is to do a cross country flight. Because this will be the last cross country of his training, he decided to make it a really neat one. We flew from Salt Lake City to Page, Arizona. We took the route that took us over the San Rafeal Swell, Capitol Reef National Park, Escalante National Monument, Glen Canyon, Lake Powell, and Navajo mountain. It was specatular scenery. Half way through the flight, my camera stopped working! After I reset it, it started working again, but I missed pictures from the escalante area and Capitol Reef.
