The blog might be a little out of sequence. Due to poor internet I couldn't do updates each day as I normally do.
Today we bagan our wander toward the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, several stops are planned at Durango and the Navajo National Monument. We will stop at Page, AZ and take a little break, stock up, laundry before heading toward the Grand Canyon.
We are taking US 64 across norther NM and AZ. So far in our trip we crossed 2 passes at 8700' and 9700'. Today we crossed 3 more at 8700', 9800', and 11000'. We had great weather for a while but as we climbed into the mountains, heavy rain, heavy fog etc. Visibility was very poor, luckily no one drives this road. We creeped down the mountain and finally had good visibility around 8500'.
When driving the mountains we always have Plan A, B and more. Today, after that delightful drive and seeing black clouds all around us we decided to stop. We travelled all of 120 miles. This has been a good decision, been raining on and off all afternoon. Giving me a chance to catch up on the blog and hopefully the pictures.
I wish there was a way to describe the Aspen and how beautiful it is, I just don't have the words and the pictures don't do the scenery justice.
