Arizona to Utah
April-May, 2006
This is Monument Valley in northern Arizona where many of the John Wayne westerns were filmed.
Hannelore exploring a recreated dwelling at the Navajo National Monument.
Never ending geological jigsaw puzzles.
We spent a day at the Grand Canyon where we encountered people from all over the world, including these four gals from New York City.
The Colorado River going through Mable Canyon.
A desert plant thriving on the shore of the Colorado River.
Hannelore testing her luck under a wind-eroded sandstone structure.
We stopped for a tour of this old Mormon farm in northern Arizona.
We then decided to take a closer look at Utah and were amazed at how much there was to see ... Zion National Park ...
... Bryce Canyon National Park ...
... with its strange hoodoos ...
... which go on for miles ...
... old, barely maintained roads through the desert ... this one in Cottonwood Canyon ...
... Capitol Reef National Park ...
... Canyonlands National Park ...
... and finally Arches National Park.
