sunrise: monument valley
We've been exploring Utah's national parks where the USA's 'everything is bigger here' continues. We had a ball. Non stop exploration and activity, but that's not about to stop. I've been told Utah has America's cutest men, but the cutest we saw were European men in the parks. I've subsequently been updated that you have to go farther north. Sigh.
We sure did see an abundance of grey nomads in their RV's the size of trucks. Actually I'm sure many of them WERE trucks. Anyhow, I'm glad we can tune into Vegas radio and tone down the country song quotient which is fun for a while, just.
There's a surprising amount of nothing out there. I thought that was a typically Australian thing, but there were an abundance of huge mountains, deep wide valleys, monster canyons and great roads with not much else along them. Great for getting away from it all. Not so great when you need fuel!
I ran at altitude in Bryce Canyon national park today. I was the only person running and got loads of attention for it. Stunning scenery is a good distraction when you're hurting. The training for Noosa must continue.
And so as the sun sets in the west, Las Vegas awaits. We have a stack of activities planned and I can't wait.

I liked Zion Canyon the best, but as you said Utah is an amazing place to visit with all there open space and Canyons..sure is breathtaking place toi be in.
Did you make it to Salt Lake as you might have seen some cute Mormon missionaries in temple Squaure!..lol we were there in 2003 when we visited friends who live in Ethram near Cedar City Utah.
