The original plan did not include Arizona, instead we were planning on camping in Mesa Verde. Once we got comfortable reading the map and judging distance we realized mesa verde would be way too far for the rest of our plans. So instead we ended up in Flagstaff Arizona! Cool train town on the way to the Grand Canyon. The sky and sunset on our way through AZ was the most beautiful thing we've seen so far! 360 degree view of miles around us; We could see many storm systems passing though, rainbows, and beautiful cloud formations. The sky never looked so big! Flagstaff was a cute little college town with friendly people, good local beers, and a yummy dinner. After Flagstaff we made our way to Zion National Park. On our way we found Glen Canyon, and in it Lake Powell. Hoping to catch a good photo opp we turned off on to a rocky road near the edge of the canyon. We decided to continue through the road to see where it would lead us. We found the highlight of our trip. A gorgeous sandstone landscape with multiple shades of reds, creams, and sea greens, accompanied by a glacier fed turquoise lake! So we got on our suits, climbed down, and jumped in! We found a perfect nook, enough for two, right on the edge of the sandstone. It was a relaxing break in our driving for the day! Next stop, Zion! Zion was more unbelieveable sights! Every turn was another jaw dropping rock formation with a beautiful sky to match. We were the most lucky campers and got the very last site in the park! Another beautiful night under the stars, and this time jiffy pop!!
