Bryce Canyon NP
7. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Another day, another national park. The spooky columns are called hoodoos.
Zion NP
8. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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
9. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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 aLue lisää
Horseshoe Bend
10. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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
10. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
A small site and well off the beaten track. Good to see some archaeology from further back.
Monument Valley
10. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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
11. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Another opportunity to see some Native American archaeology as well as an impressive canyon.

We return to the Mother Road, heading towards Flagstaff, AZ.
Grand Canyon
13. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Slightly hazy day but nevertheless the Grand Canyon is every bit as impressive as you would expect. And hot.
Arizona to California
14. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C
Long drive across Arizona and into California with plenty of Route 66 kitsch.

A few spots on Route 66 in California.
End of the Trail
15. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 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

Pacific Coast Highway
17. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

Mariposa Grove - Yosemite NP
18. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
There are trees. There are big trees. There are very big trees. And there are giant sequoias.
Yosemite Valley
19. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Truly a most beautiful place. Hard to do it justice with just a few photos.
Glacier Point - Yosemite NP
19. kesäkuuta 2018, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
More views of Yosemite, taken from Glacier Point, in the evening.
Swinging Bridge - Yosemite NP
