Utah - we still think it is beautiful
Entry 20 of 22 | show all | print this entry |
Up early - we had plans to do a lot today and just as well because our day was certainly filled.
First visit, Natural Bridges National Park - three main arches, well bridges actually, but they look just like an arch. The difference is in the way in which they are formed. Spent a wee while checking out the structures before heading to Glen Canyon. Wow factor here. The landscape is nothing short of spectacular. We ended up at Halls crossing which is where you catch the ferry across to Bullfrog. This is a place we thought we would just love to stay and chill. Right on the water in the spectacular Glen Canyon with towering walls of red. And get this - you can hire a power boat - a Riviera if you please - 175 hp plus - no license required! Apparently if you wish to OWN a boat, then a boat license is required, but in Utah, just renting a boat - nah! No license! How bizarre is that? Anyway, time again prevented us from getting out onto the water but we did give it some consideration!
From there, we made our way to Capitol Reef National Park and again, wow factor. This is one of the parks that we had hoped to get to last year when we were in Utah but distance prevented us from getting here. This time, it was on the route. This is a place that we have put on our list of places to come back to for hiking and photography it is so beautiful. We have said it before and we have to say it again - these Mormons knew what they were about settling Utah! Beauty all around!
Well, San Francisco is still a way to go so we had better start making a move since we don't have much time before we fly out. We have made the decision to hit the interstate and just travel to Reno for the final fling before the last few hours to San Fran. We put some miles behind us and spent the night at Payton. Tomorrow it's onto the Interstate 80 and push for Reno. Hmmmm - might have to play a couple of tables tomorrow night!
