We left Cortez early.  Neither of us could sleep last night.  Not sure why.

We were told about a road that cut off a corner of our planned route. It was called “Road G’ (seriously, it was)

It connected us to Route 162/191 in Bluff, Utah.

From Bluff, we followed Route 191, which turned into Route 163, straight into Monument Valley.

This country, and this earth has some incredible sights to see. This is one that must be seen with the human eye.  Just unbelievable.

Once through Monument Valley, we connected to Route 160 to Route 89 and to Route 64 to the Grand Canyon. Just unbelievable.  We stopped at a couple of vantage points along Route 64 which is inside Grand Canyon National Park. Twenty-six miles of vantage points to see this canyon.

We stopped at a couple, then headed towards our hotel.  We checked in and left to grab something to eat.

After we ate, we headed to the main vantage point in Grand Canyon Village. The only problem is that there were thunderstorms all around.  But, we went anyway.

Proper name ……Grand Canyon !!

Then, we hightailed it back to the hotel, just in the nick of time.  There was lightning all around us, but we only got a little wet.

Amazing, incredible, unbelievable sights today.

312 miles.

Tomorrow: Hoover Dam
