Once home to the pre-Colombian Sinagua Native Americans, the ruins at Tuzigoot, near Cottonwood, AZ, is a very interesting place to visit. This is a view taken from the top of the main building in the ancient complex. Click on the image for a larger view.

One more day of visiting the most beautiful scenery in the world. Today we’re at Grand Canyon where we posed at the ‘Desert View’ lookout for this shot. The famous Fred Harvey Watchtower is at this location. We’re taking so many beautiful pictures that we will share on the blog sometime soon.

These two mesas near Moab, Utah are named Monitor and Merrimac, after the Ironclad Civil War vessels. This is just one of the many panoramic images I made today. More later. Click for the full sized panorama.

We saw a lot of spectacular scenery today, including arches, hoodoos, monuments, flora and fauna. This beautiful sunset, however, deserved to be posted as today’s favorite. I took over a thousand pictures today and believe me, it was easy to pick this one. Click for screen saver size.

Ghost Rock is the name of a scenic overlook on Interstate 70. This is a picture of the rock taken as we whizzed past on our way to Moab Utah, our base station for tomorrow’s visits to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Earlier today, we were in Bryce Canyon. I’ll have some photos from Bryce in a vacation summary post after we’re home.

It was very hard to pick any one photo, but this one of a “castle” on the top of a mesa near Mesquite, AZ. was unique. Click on the image for the big view.
