texto en castellano debajo del francés... Ce matin, 31 décembre... il neige... la route est bien blanche mais ça roule... Nous quittons Moab en direction de Page que nous connaissons déjà... Nous avions prévu de visiter Canyonlands mais de un la forme est de moins en moins là, la fièvre s'élève déjà au lever à 39.9°... et de deux le brouillard mais aussi le froid ne nous permettrons pas de le faire... Le "visitor-center" est fermé depuis pas mal de temps et sincèrement à celui d'Arches on ne nous conseille pas franchement d'y aller... Nous faisons donc la route tranquillement, chacun se tenant les côtes à chaque quinte de toux car elles sont toutes courbaturées... La neige nous quitte assez vite heureusement et nous découvrons en route un petit village (Bluff Fort) reconstitué du temps des ... read more

R: Another one in short succession. Today we went to the most amazing place. I'm going to let the pictures do the talking (scroll right to the bottom for more!). We stayed overnight in Page, which is an extremely dull new town that was built for the construction of the dam. It did have a great street that had all the towns churches in one handy cluster (10+), but that was about as exciting as it got. In the morning we took a pickup truck out to Upper Antelope canyon which is a slot canyon, meaning it's no more than a metre wide in places, and the sandstone gets carved by successive flood waters leaving amazing whirlpool marks, debris and etchings in the Najavo sandstone. The floodwaters enter every summer, some being higher than others, and ... read more

We had a few different experiences in Page, AZ. The first was our trip to Antelope Canyon which is on Native Navajo lands. In order to get into this canyon you have to book way ahead to reserve a place on the guided tour into the canyon. Normally the pictures you most often see of this canyon are the spot light of sun streaming through the hole at the top of the canyon. However, that only happens at certain times and on only a few months of the year, so we were not able to see that. But the canyon itself is very interesting. In order to get there they pack 14 people into a large 4X4 vehicle to drive out to the canyon. So we did some real 4 wheeling!!! After leaving the paved road, ... read more

Monday, 29 June, 2015 Bob and Gena left early on their way east, while we will continue west then south. They had commitments they had to get home for. We miss them already. We drove back through Vernal, with all the pretty flowers, then on to Roosevelt, where we stopped for fuel at a Pilot. But their pumps didn't work and we had to go elsewhere. As we headed south we went over a pass that was over 9100 feet high. It was a pretty steep grade and we were moving pretty slowly by the time we reached the top. The downhill was much faster, but seemed to go on forever. We finally reached the interstate and a little rainfall that dropped the temperature from 97 to 69 degrees, then back up to 94 within twenty ... read more

Lake Powell & Glen Canyon Dam Der letzte Teil von Page bringt mich zuerst an den Lake Powell. Dieser künstliche See ist durch das Aufstauen des Colorado Rivers durch den Glan Canyon Dam entstanden und ist ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel der Amerikaner (National Recreation Area). Danach hab ich mir auch das Wunder der Technik angesehen, das diesen See produziert hat: den Glen Canyon Dam. Der Staudamm dient (natürlich) der Stromerzeugung, aber auch der Regulierung der Wasserzufur der Staaten am Colorado River.... read more

Scenic Route 89A + Grand Staircase Escalante Von Page richtung Westen führt die U.S. Route 89A und führt u.a. durch die Vermillion Cliffs über die Navajo Bridge vorbei an der Cliff Dwellers Lodge, wo Blanche Russells Auto den Geist aufgegeben hat, und sie beschlossen hat gleich hierzubleiben entlang der Route die die Erkunder Escalante und Domínguez 1776 auf ihrem Weg durchs unbekannte Land genommen hatten übers Kaibab Plateau und den gleichnamigen National Forest bis nach Kanab in Utah Der Rückweg über die parallel verlaufende U.S Route 89 bietet folgendes zu sehen: den Paria Canyon wo von 1870 bis 1929 noch ein paar Leute wohnten, von denen nur noch ein Friedhof übrig ist. Manchmal wurde der Ort als Filmkulisse verwendet, jedoch sind mittlerweile alle Kulissen zerstört. Hoodoos, Toadstool rocks und ... read more

Page Arizona Antelope Slot Canyon Ein Canyon im Sandstein, durch den Lichteinfall von oben schauts so toll aus, und der Besuch ist ein Muss wenn man zufällig in Page, AZ vorbeikommt - oder man fährt extra deswegen nach Page, AZ. Ganz wie man will. Der Canyon liegt Navajo Land, daher kann man nur mit einer von Navajo People geführten Tour in den Canyon. Der Canyon teilt sich in zwei Teile: den "Upper Antelope Canyon" und den "Lower Antelope Canyon". Horseshoe Bend gleich ausserhalb von Page macht der Colorado River einen 270-Grad Bogen --> den Horseshoe Bend (Hufeisen-Bogen)... read more

Roadtrip SW USA: Hitting the Jackpot...Photography Tour of Antelope Canyon. I like to say it how it is. You can do tours...join the gaggle of geese that whoosh in and out of there...or pay a bit more for a Photography Tour...and get your moneys worth...good and proper. If you win a lottery and say "No thanks" (see last blog)...you gotta make up for it with something truly spectacular. As you will see from this blog and those that follow...we made up for it in spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs and more spades...and we didn't visit any of the casinos that dot this fabulous country trying to take your dough! Do we have good reason for feeling lucky? Sure do! ****** I'm gonna tell you a little something about this so you can understand what I'm talking about. ... read more

Geo: 36.9086, -111.473Well here we come to another end....I prefer to view our temporary stop as a hiatus rather than an end to our adventure. It can only end when we decide not start up again.....After 38 days of traveling with very few breaks, I'm thinking the universe might be trying to tell us something. The bike is on life support, cpr being given hourly and a truck and trailer have been rented for the last 300 miles. Sad, relieved, frustrated but not defeated. It may be 6 months or more before we see the road again, but we will see it!Now for the great and not so great stories of the last couple of weeks. Seems like more time has passed since the last update, but nope, with so many roads, so many towns, so ... read more

2014 09 17 Day 16 Drove through southern Utah and northers Arizona desert to the North rim of the grand canyon. After getting up to the plateau the scenery change to lush meadows and forests. The GC is probably the most amazing thing I have ever seen. The other day when I heard the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, I thought that must be what angels sound like. Today I saw where they must live. Breathtaking, spectacular, magnificent, etc. etc. none of these words can truly relate what we saw. Some of the pathways were frightening, but worth it. Took about a million pictures, would love to see it at sunrise and sunset. Took the longer route to page, our next stop. Glad I did, saw some spectacular scenery. I'm glad I got to see northern Arizona. Made ... read more
