Mike, once again the light brought out our wonderful western color. These are really good. Were you traveling in a group or were you in your private vehicle? Can't wait to get over there in April.
Thanks, Rowedean, Just my wife and the two dogs. With this wet winter, April should be wonderful.

Thanks for your kind comment. I think we may have taken a better shot to show elevation on the return trip (which I will post later). You are correct about getting off the Interstates.

We escaped the rain at Horseshoe Bend and took US 89 to Sedona. No matter which direction we looked, there were clouds and light that varied and brought out wonderful western colors.

Great set Mike. Isn't AZ beautiful. No matter what you look, of you can't see beauty, something is wrong. Ok like #3. The is another spot just like that on 89 noth of flagstaff. Indians line the road selling jewelry there.
Ps I just re read. This is the spot. I guess the vendors were not out.

Mike,
Beautiful photos of a picturesque area of our country. Enjoy your trip, it's snowing here for the next couple of days.
Nice job.

Wonderful, Mike! You managed to capture a photo that I've always wanted! I think those cuts as one comes down out of Page to be quite beautiful! How did you do that? I don't find a place to park so that I can get out and shoot them, and thinking of oncoming traffic that wouldn't see me in the road is sort of scary!
I can appreciate your images because I treated myself and an old friend to 8 days out west in November for my birthday. We flew into Lost Wages, spent one whole day at Hoover Dam, spent the next day in and around Sedona, visited the Grand Canyon next where I got the best image from the entire trip, sunset at Desert View. Drove up to Page after dark. Next day we saw Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, Marble Canyon, Lee's Ferry and walked across the Colorado River on the Navajo Bridge. It was an amazing drive from Page to Marble Canyon for us because now it was light out and we got to see the vistas that had been hidden by nightfall. Drove from Page across southern Utah to Zion Nat Pk. On my birthday we drove from Cedar City to Bryce Canyon Nat Pk. Wind chills that morning were in the single digits. Finished our trip with a day at Valley of Fire in Nevada before flying back out of Lost Wages. I had 3 Nikon DSLRs and a Samsung S22+ with me. It was interesting how the red rocks seemed to be getting redder with each passing day that trip with Valley of Fire probably the reddest landscape of them all. I would like to get back there and see more of southern Utah and more of the parks north and west of Vegas. I was glad we made the trip when we did especially visiting Valley of Fire; there is almost no shade at that park and it would have been near impossible for the two of us to have done all we did during the summer months.
We'll be traveling that same road in a couple of months. Great vistas.
