We left our Page, AZ motel at 7:45 New Mexico and Utah time (6:45 local Arizona time). We did not change our watches to Arizona time after leaving New Mexico.
It was a sunny 60 degrees. Immediately we saw the bridge over the Colorado River beside Glen Canyon Dam and soon went over it.
|
 |
We had a glimpse of the top of the dam and the beginning of Lake Powell and then Lake Powell.
|
 |
I imagined I was seeing castles in the distance.
|
 |
More castles and into Utah
|
 |
The edge of the Grand Staircase Escalante N. Monument
|
 |
A rare flowing river and changing textures
|
 |
Changing colors
|
 |
Ups and downs. Our elevations changed from 6000 to 8000 feet today and back down to 5000 here in Orem
|
 |
A steady job
|
 |
Even a glimpse of Bryce Canyon-type geology
|
 |
A Brewer's Blackbird was the bird of the day and we finally made it to a freeway again . . .
|
 |
. . . and stately mountains
|
 |
Our home away from home for the evening--another La Quinta. Sofie is happy and so are we--355 miles closer to home.

Today Our Eyes Were On
Every possible geological formation, vegetative habitat, and natural landscape coloration.
Our Eyes Are Full!
