After Zion, arrived in Las Vegas. Eiffel Tower, The Pyramids, The Arch of Triumph, Roman temples… Must be the capital of kitsch. Next morning, saw Hoover Dam. Then went straight for Death Valley. Just missed the sunset at Dante’s View. Camped at 40 degrees C. Furnace Creek is a proper name. In the morning, it got to a low of 30 degrees C. Despite the extreme temperatures, I do recommend Continue…
I heard it was beautiful. Still, I wasn’t prepared for this. Arrived in Zion mid-afternoon. The view after going through the tunnel was spectacular. We went on a small hike, then rented some equipment for the next day, searched for a campground and went to sleep. 5 am. 5 degrees C. Wake-up. 10 am. On top of Angel’s Landing. Epic. Afternoon. Canyoning through the Narrows. Too psyched to feel any Continue…
Drove through Cedar Breaks. Only stopped for some photos (the road goes up to 3000 m!) and to scare some deer that were blocking the road. Arrived in Bryce Canyon. Took a camp site, then went on a hike. Woke up early next day and caught the sunrise. Beautiful place, yet we left fast for our next destination.
Antelope Canyon. Visited just the lower one. No time for both. Stunning scenery. During my 2 hours there, I kept thinking about all the angles I was missing. And I’m sure I missed a ton of them. Nearby you’ll find Lake Powell and Horseshoe Bend.
Just the usual 900 year old volcano with adjacent lava field. .. followed by a meteorite crater. Along with the meteorite that created it. Petrified forest. Cute, but I prefer living trees. Canyon de Chelly. Ancient Native American ruins. Recognized this place from westerns. Gooseneck Bend. Monument Valley. Monumental awesomeness. Camped in Navajo National Monument. Great campground, spectacular sunset. Slept next to some other ancient Native American Ruins.
