Valley of the gods, Goosenecks State Park & Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah

Today, we left New Mexico and moved over to Bluff, Utah, so that we would be more centrally located to see the sites we wanted to see.

First, we went to Valley of the gods. It was a road leading back to even more rock formations. We turned around after about 5 miles of dirt road with bumps and more bumps! The whole trip through the Valley was 27 miles long and would have led us right to Goosenecks, oh well--travel and learn!

Next we went to Goosenecks States Park. As you can see Wayne standing at the edge. It was breath-taking looking down about 1,000 feet (or more). At the bottom was a river that wound around thru the rock formations.

From there, we went 45 miles across mountains on Utah Highway 261--mostly dirt and so high it was chilling looking back the way we'd had come (as you can see in the next picture).

Our final sight for today was Natural Bridges National Monument (picture 3--if you look closely you can see the 'bridge' formation in the center of the picture). This was more than just one Monument--it was a National Park which looped 9 miles and took about 3 hours to see all the sights and the 3 natural, rock formation bridges.

What a wonderful, tiring day; but still more laundry. Oh, well, at least we are blessed to have our own washer & dryer in our RV.

So, until next posting--we love ya'll--keep us in your prayers (you are in ours)---
