Default 2nd Day Out

On our "short" day of the three day drive we came through the historic homes of the Navajo, Zuni and Hopi tribes. The four corners area, where the borders of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah meet is a great area to explore. Our trek today took us through Petrified Forest National Park. We ended the day in the mountains of northern Arizona in the Flagstaff and Sedona area. It present a stark contrast to the Senora desert part of Arizona (e.g. the Phoenix area).

Tomorrow we head north and west, crossing over the other Colorado River east of the Grand Canyon at the southern edge of Lake Powell/Glen Canyon. We'll split the difference between two great but not-so-well know National Parks of Zion and Bryce, The Arches NP, another great place to visit is north of our route. From there we will hit some mining towns in eastern Nevada; pick up the Loneliest Road to America and on to Reno.
