Bryce Canyon NP
June 7, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Another day, another national park. The spooky columns are called hoodoos.
Zion NP
June 8, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
A very busy park. And very hot again. We walked a couple of trails and enjoyed the splendour of the mountains.
Antelope Canyon - Lake Powell AZ
June 9, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C
A gentle start to the day. We saw long-horned cattle (twice) for the first time and some amazingly coloured rock formations in Utah. We entered Arizona (state #13) and visited Lake Powell and took aRead more
Horseshoe Bend
June 10, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Our first stop of the day, still near Lake Powell and Page. Well worth the short walk. The Colorado River doing its thing.
Navajo NM
June 10, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
A small site and well off the beaten track. Good to see some archaeology from further back.
Monument Valley
June 10, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Just on the Utah/Arizona valley, an area of vast sandstone buttes. Ann was very disappointed that I had failed to book the nearby Tipis for our stay...NOT.
Canyon de Chelly NM
June 11, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Another opportunity to see some Native American archaeology as well as an impressive canyon.
Petrified Forest

So many fabulous colours and shapes with such detail and texture. Lots of petrified trees across a spectacular landscape.
Meteor Crater AZ

We return to the Mother Road, heading towards Flagstaff, AZ.
Grand Canyon
June 13, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Slightly hazy day but nevertheless the Grand Canyon is every bit as impressive as you would expect. And hot.
Arizona to California
June 14, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C
Long drive across Arizona and into California with plenty of Route 66 kitsch.
Elmer's Place
June 15, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
A few spots on Route 66 in California.
End of the Trail
June 15, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
It seems that after more than 2000 miles of driving that nobody actually knows where Route 66 really ends. Somewhere in Santa Monica. So here are a few possibilities.
Hollywood
June 16, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Visit to see the sign, Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Walk of Fame.
Pacific Coast Highway
June 17, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
A long haul up the coast from LA to Cambria. We expected to see pelicans (they are everywhere). We did not expect to see elephant seals. And we were delighted to see sea otters, even if only from aRead more
Mariposa Grove - Yosemite NP
June 18, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
There are trees. There are big trees. There are very big trees. And there are giant sequoias.
Yosemite Valley
June 19, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Truly a most beautiful place. Hard to do it justice with just a few photos.
Glacier Point - Yosemite NP
June 19, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
More views of Yosemite, taken from Glacier Point, in the evening.
Swinging Bridge - Yosemite NP

A short walk before we left the park.
