Cortez

Enough of Kanab. We head off past Vermillion Cliffs. They’re the ones below Pink Cliffs, and White Cliffs. There are some California Condors flying free in the neighborhood of Vermillion Cliffs, but we didn’t detour to look for them. We followed Highway 89 past Big Water and Lone Rock. Back into Arizona. A good view of Lake Powell. A bridge right above the Glen Canyon Dam, a loop around the power plants at Page. Through Warm Creek, Baby Rock, Rough Rock, Mexican Water, and Red Mesa. Past the southern end of Monument Valley, Four Corners, and settled down at our favorite KOA in Cortez. What a ride!

Kaibab Indians around Pipe Spring, I think they were Paiutes. Hopi, Mountain Utes and Southern Utes in Colorado. We spent most of our day in the Navajo Nation.

Three planets aligned on the western horizon as the sun set.
