Looking back on southern Utah.
On our way south last fall we went into and through Utah for our first time ever. We didn't have near the sightseeing success going south as we did returning to Utah as we head north from Yuma for the summer. Our stay in Bluff, Utah was incredible. This post is just a few high spots that we haven't posted yet. We hope you enjoy!
Steve & Gari at Valley of the Gods, Mexican Hat, Utah.
More Valley of the Gods. We call these Hoodoos, just amazing, every single one.
The Hand (our name).
The Odd Couple (our name again).
Straight up.
Skinny.
Gari at Mexican Hat Rock, Mexican Hat, Utah. It's windy, Gari needs a Mexican hat.
Perhaps the best example of meandering erosion in North America, The Great Goosenecks of the San Juan River near Mexican Hat, Utah. The San Juan River flows a distance of over six miles while advancing only one and a half miles west toward its' destination in Lake Powell.

The dots are the hand holds and foot holds that the original residents used to get into and out of their cliff homes! We decided not to drop in...

These are hand prints in Hobbs Wash near Bluff, Utah. These hand prints are around 1,000 years old.
The hand prints make you feel like you are looking at the person who left them. So special.
