Four Corners (az,ut,co,nm) 7/26

* Sunday 7/26/15
The Four Corners National Monument is the only place in the United States where you can be in four different states at the same time. Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. The monument is located in the desert on the Navajo Indian Reservation. There is a small visitor center, some Navajo arts and craft booths, picnic tables and portable toilets. There is a small fee charged per vehicle.

Left Meteor Crater around 10am. Wanted to leave earlier but we had a well water problem. Once on the road it took 4 1/2 hr to get there. Interesting but kind of disappointed. Purchased a T-shirt. There was a waiting line to stand on the 4 corners plate. Fun watching the people taking their pictures. Back on the road again. Was planning a stop in Gallup NM. Happy to see Best Western motel in Chinle which is the gate way to Canyon De Chelly. Long day. Time to turn in.

Grand Canyon 7/25

*
Saturday 7/25/15 Grand Canyon Trip

Went to Flagstaff to have the oil change in the Truck. From there headed to Williams for the Grand Canyon. A electric sign in the town of Tusayan (about 5 mi from the Gate entrance) indicated limited parking at the Canyon. So I took the shuttle bus from the IMAX. Smart move. Hiked the rim trail enjoying the great views. One nevers get tires of the views. Some shopping. Snacks & drinks at the El Trova hotel. So many people from around the world. Back to Tusayan and went to the IMAX - movie on the Grand Canyon.

Oh yes some goecaching before getting to the GC. Returned home by 9pm.
