A difference a clear day makes

Revisiting places I find something that I have missed the time before. This time I realised that Mt Humphrey's is visible from Verde Valley.

Recently a colleague surprised us with the fact that Colorado River is the left border of Arizona. He told us a quip too.
The river changes its route now and then. A lady whose house moved to CA was asked if she wanted to be in CA or AZ.
Lady: CA. Its cooler there.

On Antelope canyon boating ride, I found about how Antelope canyon was filled with water due to back fill from damming the Colorado river with Lake Powell dam. At the dam I found a red lizard. It reminded me of how we returned from hostel, all clothes colored red from the sand around. Lees Ferry as a book title in the information center seemed very familiar.

A 6 hr boat tour includes a view of Rainbow Bridge National Monument.

On the drive to page, we thought we saw a trio of fountains welling up. when close we found them to be smoking stacks of Navajo Generating station. It gets its coal supply from Kayenta Mines.

The road close to Zion National Park is natural with its dark red colour.

Canyons and Layers. the bottom of one is top of another. Grand Canyon, Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon.
The shuttle at Zion Canyon explained the history very well. All the pioneers who recognised the wilderness.

Meeting love suffices for a day.
