Quarantine In California
We had a two-week quarantine in California before we could start to explore. Chiriaco Summit was the perfect place to do it.
Chiriaco Summit – An Oasis In The Desert
When we arrived in California, we found Chiriaco Summit. It was an oasis in the desert with everything we needed for our quarantine.
A Petrified Forest and a Fantastic Canyon
We explored Petrified Forest National Park and then took an amazing drive through Salt River Canyon before heading to California.
Ray’s BBQ Shack Review
Ray's BBQ Shack ended up being a wonderful place to grab lunch after exploring Petrified Forest National Park.
Painted Desert and Petroglyphs
The views in the Painted Desert at Petrified Forest National Park were spectacular. Add the petroglyphs and some wildlife, and the day was glorious.
A Beautiful and Harrowing Journey
After two weeks on the road, it was time to return to Colorado. The drive was beautiful, but also scary.
A Volcano, Ruins, and An Amazing Drive
After exploring a volcano, lava fields, and ancient ruins, we had a spectacular, beautiful drive to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Two Canyons
We had a great time exploring Walnut Canyon and Grand Canyon. Or, at least, I did. Chris was a bit less than thrilled with the heights.
A Castle, A Pueblo, and A Well
We explored a trilogy of monuments, Montezuma Castle, Tuzigoot, and Montezuma Well.
Cactuses and Ruins
We covered a lot of miles to see cactuses, spectacular scenery, and ruins.
