What a day! We started out in Farmington, New Mexico. Our first city to visit was Shiprock, NM where they have a rock that is supposed to look like a ship. Our consensus is that it looks more like a face looking up towards the sky. We could see the mountains in Southwestern Colorado from here! Then we went to 4 Corners. This is where the corners of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona meet (it is not accurate, but what the heck!) It was fun taking pictures there despite the geographical inaccuracies! We then drove through Colorado to Utah. Bluff, Utah was beautiful! We drove through the Valley of the Gods on our way to Mexican Hat and Monument Valley. I have never seen such spectacular formations! My pictures do not do them justice but I hope you enjoy them. Our last stop was Page, AZ which is where the dam is forming Lake Powell. Today was fantastic!

Bridge over Lake Powell |

Lake Powell was about 90 feet low. They desperately need water! |

Wish we could send our rain to the Southwest!! |
