Bridge of San Juan County

Bridges.  They are constructed in all shapes, sizes and take the traveler to destinations known and unknown.

This particular bridge, less than .25 miles, is located in San Juan county, Utah on the Navajo Indian Reservation. 

Steel, wood, concrete come together and create a thing of beauty and necessity. 

We enjoy this alternative route to Interstate 70 and Interstate 15, on our way to California or Arizona.  The red earth has a certain bit of mysticism to it.

This Ain't No Virgin

While all around the Rocky Mountains, the change of season has the colors in full bursts, a recent trip to Nevada had us stopping in the Virgin River Gorge on the border of Utah and the tip of Arizona, along I 15.  A mild, even balmy 75 degrees gave bursts to the beautiful cactus that call this area of desert home.  While some may be zipping through the Gorge on their way to the city of  lights & casinos, we could have easily spent our entire weekend exploring the continuous beauty of the desert and slow moving Virgin River as it carves its way through the canyon.

Got a Horseshoe?

Horseshoe Bend, located off  U.S. Route 89, near Page, Arizona invokes me to contemplate the powers of Mother Nature.  The sandstone and years of the elements have created both masculine and feminine appearances to the Horseshoe.  Strength and solemn are the sandstone, in its' masculinity,  and the grace and female compassion are the Colorado River.  Both joined in harmony create yet another marvel that is the southwest, filled with the years of magic and wonderment.
