We headed east after impatiently waiting for a package from
home. Only to find out that it was delivered to the incorrect location.
AGAIN… No worries, we re-routed it from
Escalante to Blanding, UT and hit the road!
Hwy 12 is a spectacular drive through Utah continuously
changing and surprising. We hit several
parks along the way.
First up was Capitol Reef – a lightly visited park, that is
a bit of a hidden gem. Great colors and
lots of petroglyphs made this a worthwhile drive through their park.
After another hour or so on the road we made out way into
natural bridges Nat’l Park. So what is the difference between an arch and a natural bridge.... well... not really a whole lot from what I could tell. The names are difference, but they both seem to be caused by water and look about the same :)
Next stop, Goosenecks State Park – A superb example of what
occurs when you let a river meander its way back and forth for millions of
years. With nothing to do for that much
time I would get bored too and create a silly slithering pattern.
Because it was not quite yet sleepy time, we headed out to
the Navojo nation and checked out monument valley. Although we did not end
driving through the park as the sun was already setting we did get some
excellent photos!
