This morning we hit the road at 8:25. It was warmer here than we expected. We headed north on 163 and then just before Bluff it turned into 191 and then we headed west on 95 just below Blanding.
Another day of head swiveling gawking at the awe inspiring scenery! Every turn in the road revealed something new or gave you a changing perspective of the towering formations. The red parts of the countryside was so red it almost hurt the eyes...its contrast with the green of the brush and the blue of the sky, stunning.
We took a short hike to see some Anasazi ruins just after we picked up 95. They were an amazing society and very smart building their communities within these large caves.
We stopped at the bridge that crossed Lake Powell, which is actually the Colorado River. I'll post more pictures of today's beauty later.
I took almost 300 pictures today. I am experimenting and lowered the resolution of this entries photos...it really speeds up the posting process!
We landed in Hanksville, Utah for tonight. We got in here at 2:22. It is just a gas station, and a restaurant/RV Park...at least that's all we've seen. We traveled around 175 miles today and made a couple of stops to hike around and sight-see.
