10 September 2011 The thunderstorms are over for the morning so I made a dash for Arches National Park. Once again, I took heaps of photos. The thing is, if we had any one of the features in these photos in Missouri or New Zealand, we would create a park just around that feature, and here are hundreds of them in one place.
After a few hours wandering around Arches, I headed east on 46, crossing the border into Colorado and descending into the beautiful Paradox valley. In Naturita I turned right onto 145 which took me over Lizard Head Pass at 10222 feet and down into Cortez where I spent the night, poised to visit Mesa Verde National Park in the morning.
Americana for the day: Barnum and Bailey Animal Crackers – I still think elephants taste the best :-)
Hi Micheal, this brings back good memories of my '93 holiday. I spent a couple of weeks in Utah and it is definitely one of my favourite places in the world.
