Tuscon, AZ (map WP41)
to
Boulder, CO (map WP55)
This is where the trip took a diversion from plans. The original intention was to go to the Pacific Northwest & stop in Boulder to see our good friends, the Colvins on the return east. That was not to be. Bill had taken very sick & time dictated that we turn & head east early.
Next stop was Flagstaff, AZ & relief from the heat of Tuscon. The elevation of Flagstaff makes a world of difference in climate. The cooler temperature allowed more comfortable repairs to the trailer underside from the Texas tire blowout & a quick oil change for the truck. I think it took less than 10 minutes at the Jiffy Lube.
As usual click on the pics for full appreciation.
Potty break
North Rim, Grand Canyon
Busy highways of N Arizona & S Utah
Somebody does not like picture taking
A quiet no utility cg about 10 miles from the Grand Canyon North Rim
The Colorado river almost a mile below the rim.
The Grand Canyon North Rim though busy does not get anywhere near the visitors as the South Rim. Only 5% of Grand Canyon visitors go to the North Rim which is a solid days drive if you want to get from one to the other. There are no short cuts unless you are a bird.
One of our most favourite places, Bryce Canyon
One of the Bryce residents
No fear as long as it thinks it might get some food
This is our fourth stop at Bryce Canyon. It is one of those places that draws you back.
One of the many Bryce rock formations
Bryce hoodoos
Energetic people far below. It is not the going down the trail that is tiring. It is the coming back up. Can't get Carolyn on one of those mule rides they have.
Dillon Reservoir, Frisco, CO. A familiar sight for anyone who has skied Colorado

St Vrain State Park, Longmont, CO.
Rain. Most of it evaporates before hitting the ground
Distant evening thunderstorm, St Vrain SP
