Yesterday was the second day in a row we were just floored with the scenery and the adventure of traveling on the road. The prior day we had come down from Colorado to Bluff, UT, and passed through some "drop-dead" canyonlands along the Colorado River leading into Moab, UT. (50 National Parks within driving distance of this spot.) The territory leading up into the La Sal Mountains is just stunning.
Bluff, UT is an interesting little town with a LONG history.
And features the Navajo Twins, looming right over "downtown".
Our Campground was situated right underneath some amazing native american (3000 year old) Petroglyphs.
Next we drove across Navajo Indian territory toward Page, AZ and Lake Powell. Transiting the Monument Valley.
Square Butte.
And alongside Navajo Mountain.
Before entering the Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument and on into Page, AZ then along to the entrance to Zion National Park where we had to have a tunnel shut down for our "wide load" R-Pod (anything wider than 74" requires one way traffic in one of their narrow tunnels (an extra $15 too! ;(
