Day 36

Finished driving across New Mexico today and stopped at Four Corners, where New Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Colorado meet.  Only a short detour and fun to see.  Then on to Utah.  So many things we wanted to see, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, Zion.  Seeing them all not possible without a lot of backtracking, so we reluctantly skipped Monument Valley.  As we have done at every chance we opted for scenic byways as opposed to interstates.  The scenic byway through Utah was really spectacular.  An amazing array of terrain types, colors, vegetation and animals.  I'm having trouble posting pictures tonight (Sunday) but will try to add them later.  We just missed getting a spot at a National Park but found a nice hotel with a pool and hot tub.
