The Trip Home (pt 1)



day 1

PCH 1
the Malibu coast
sea level

California high desert
3200 ft

Arizona mountains
Flagstaff 7000 ft



day 2

Arizona
the road into Monument Valley


 an approaching dust storm

we tasted grit all day
(it's Spring and this is what happens)
 our clothes were covered in sand
and our hair
and we had to clean the car's air filter


but it was so worth it!



Utah
Monument Valley

not a national park but 
sacred ground for the
Navajo Nation









Mexican Hat, Utah

the Navajo Twins
Bluff, Utah


have no idea if this formation has a name
it was only 100 ft from the highway
lonely in the field
it was HUGE!
like Taj Mahal huge



Arches National Park
near Moab, Utah
words cannot describe it
and photos don't do it any justice


click on this photo to blow it up
this formation is called
Park Avenue
those cliffs are taller than NYC buildings
notice the scale of the people
at the bottom of the photo











day 3

near Grand junction, Colorado

the Colorado River

the little man

the first pass into 
The Rocky Mountains


Vail, Colorado
11,150ft
and 19 degrees

the first snow we've seen in months!


lunch in Denver
Olinger's Mortuary
made into 
Linger Eatuaries

international street food made cozy
delicious!

eastern Colorado
such a contrast from the Rocky Mountains 
only an hour behind us
