Arizona

Wind, wind and more wind! End of day 3, done. All three of those days have been filled with sights and fun in Arizona. Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, and friends. Arizona has such drastic changes in scenery in a short amount of time. Red rocks. Canyons. Mountains. Valleys. Lots for the eyes to see. It has exceeded my previous thought and expectation. Turns out, Arizona isn't just a flat, hot, dry desert! The wind though.

We drove around looking for a camp site today and finally found a pretty nice one with many amenities, in Monument National park, on the border of Utah and Arizona. Spectacular views of natural 'monuments' made out of stone jetting up out of the sand. Massive, imposing, awe-inspiring art work. We are nestled under large red stone cliffs. Setting up a tent, in the sand, in the wind, tough. We are hopeful the tent won't fly away tonight.

On to Colorado tomorrow. It's only going to get better and more beautiful from here on out!
