<\/a><\/p>\nWe took I17 to Flagstaff, and then US89 to Kanab, UT.\u00a0 We could have followed US89 all the way home, except for the several mountain passes and ranges that are still snowed in.<\/p>\n
This San Francisco Peaks.<\/p>\n
Flagstaff is at the base.<\/p>\n We got behind a truck while we were driving though a part of Flagstaff.\u00a0 Interesting signage!\u00a0 Trvth in Advertising!<\/p>\n Once you cross the summit going South on US89 by Flagstaff (which is at 7000ft!) it is a long and fairly gentle decline to about 4000ft…90 or 100 miles later!\u00a0 You can get pretty good mileage, if the wind isn’t blowing.\u00a0 It was.<\/p>\n Towards the bottom of the decline is where some read rock ridges start.<\/p>\n Eventually you come to the turn to Page, AZ.\u00a0 Either way gets you to Kanab, but the non-Page route is a narrow, windy snow pack mountain road.\u00a0 It does have the access road to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and it should open in late May.\u00a0 After the snow melts a bit.<\/p>\n That road runs along the bottom of those cliffs you see, named the Vermillion Cliffs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The highway to Page runs up a cliff side, yielding the views above.\u00a0 At the top you go through a cut.<\/p>\n This is the view near Page.\u00a0 The colors and shadows on the rocks is spectacular!<\/p>\n Here is the bridge over the Colorado River at the Glen Canyon Dam, which created Lake Powell.<\/p>\n Somewhere further down the road we hit a snow shower with this plucky fellow riding the other way.<\/p>\n Just a little road bored…errr…artistic photos! from the highway.<\/p>\n Colorado City in the distance, and not quite so distance!<\/p>\n The last long hill before Hurricane, UT, where the St. George KOA is.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
