We headed out from Durango this morning on our way to Flagstaff, AZ. Crossing the boarder into New Mexico, we took a small detour to see
Shiprock (picture), a unique formation in the middle of the desert on the Navajo Indian reservation. It was really neat to see.
We headed from here towards Arizona and wanted to stop at the USGS monument at the Four Corners (where the boarders of AZ, NM, CO, and UT meet), but upon arriving, we found that it was inside an indian "trading post" that cost money to see/access. Deciding it wasn't worth paying to see, we headed back west towards the Grand Canyon. We saw several neat rock formations along the way and finally made it to the Grand Canyon around 4pm. After walking around the vistas and visitors center for a couple hours we headed to
Flagstaff.
