Four Corners to Kanab
We wake up this morning to see a huge mountain sitting behind us amazing views. First stop this morning is Cortez to get to the Wal-mart so we can get some dia-stop pills for Andy who has been crook since Santa Fe. Pharmacy is shut so it is self help with the pills and some energy waters to help replace some of the fluids. Next we head to the Four Corners Monument. This is the one place in the States where four states meet at the one point Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. Another disappointing stop which is really just a tourist trap a charge to get in, heaps of t-shirt vendors and one little plaque on the ground next!
Monument Valley is the next stop on the list and also the cover shot on one of our tour guides and the spot I really wanted to get the same pic of. Well, now we have a pic like that too J Monument Valley is not a national park and is in the middle of an Indian Reservation. The scenery is quite spectacular and some of the literature that we receive at National Parks would have been quite good. We have since managed to pick up a book about it so can answer all our questions ourselves now.
On the way we pass through the Glen Canyon Dam that is at the foot of Lake Powell, what a gorgeous spot and the very spot where they shot the Malibu video. We couldnt get a real good look at the lake but what we did see certainly confirmed that this was the place.
Our aim today was to get to Bryce Canyon if we could. GPS had us going through a 40mile off road route that is impassable in wet weather. We decide not to risk it with our 30footer and take the longer route instead. By the time we get to Kanab I am absolutely stuffed and we decide to stop for the night.
