We are sad to say we had to leave our comfy condo in beautiful St. George this morning. We got on the road at 8:15 and headed southeast toward Flagstaff, Arizona. As we drove along highway 89, we realized that we were just about 30 miles from the entrance to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Even though we have visited here before, we just could not resist!
We just turned that car around and before we knew it, we were standing on the rim!
We stopped at several overlooks that we had not seen last time we visited the canyon. One of them had this neat tower.
After we had our fill of the fantastic views of the canyon, we retraced our steps and headed south toward Flagstaff. We had researched an area close by of ancient Anasazi ruins and also a volcanic area containing Sunset crater. You can see the ruins and the crater in the pictures below. It was a very worthwhile side trip. Both places were pretty neat.
We made it to Holbrook, Arizona just after sunset and are settled into our hotel here. We will head to Santa Fe in the morning. We are anxious to spend a couple days there exploring the area.
Hugs to Everyone,
Bob and Deb
