So we are now leaving Utah and heading to northern Arizona. Today was about 300 miles. This took us through the through the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (Lake Powell). Bryce Canyon National Park is at the very edge of this area.
Love the layers and hoodoos!
side note: do you know the difference between a National Park and a National Monument?
The difference has to do with the reason for its development. Parks are for “inspirational, educational, and recreational values” while a Monument is for “historic, prehistoric, or scientific interest”.

I never thought about the difference before, but makes sense!! Do you sleep while he drives 300 miles?? Or are you glued to window, not wanting to miss a thing??

I rarely sleep while he drives but he sleeps when I drive – go figure! We usually stop every 2-3 hrs for a stretch, usually at a truck stop so John can replenish his coffee fix.
