Photo Essay: From Canyon de Chelly, AZ to Bluff, UT

May 12 (continued)

Bridget, Reggie, and I leave Chinle, Arizona.  The Perfect Tow Vehicle carries us on Route 191 north to Bluff, Utah.  This collection of photos shows some of the scenes along this memorable ride.

Burros!

P1110315We come upon a small herd of burros.  Of course, I have to stop for a photo shoot!

P1110316-002The driver honks his horn several times — “Get outta’ the road!” — before rushing past us.

P1110317A curious trio alongside the road and another curious trio inside the Perfect Tow Vehicle.

P1110319“Uh, you on the left.  Could you move over more and look at the camera please?”

P1110318“What a handsome profile you have!”

Red rock!

P1110322This rock formation is massive.  

P1110327See the needles on the left?  I zoom for a closer view.

P1110324The photo is blurry due to distance and hand-held.  Do you see the family?

P1110328I suppose these are considered “badlands.”  To me the rock looks like folds of velvet.

Horses!

P1110331A peaceful scene of mothers with children

P1110332-001A lone horse commands the photo as much as the huge rock.

P1110336Red rock, red horses

Out of Arizona into Utah!

P1110342-001I love this sign.

P1110338Sometimes faith is required that the road continues.

P1110341We stop along Route 191 for a break.  Reggie looks at the storm gathering behind us.

P1110339“We’re almost home, sweetheart.”

P1110343When I see the white rocks, I know we’re close to Bluff.

P1110430-001An exhilarating ride!  “Wheeeeee!”

P1110433Over the San Juan River we go!

P1110350“We’re here!  Okay, cuties.  Let me look for a campsite.  Then you can get out.”

P1110422-001What a day!

From the overlook at Canyon de Chelly to Sand Island, a few miles west of Bluff. . .
