10/20/13 Sunday

We spent the day driving from Mesa Verde to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

We had to stop by the Four Corners monument, largely due to Nancy being a fan of Breaking Bad.

The facilities.

On the reservation even the monuments are impoverished.

Walking across the old Navajo Bridge.

The drive west features scenic Navajo Bridge crossing the Colorado River just below Lees Ferry.

The Vermilion Cliffs from the west end of Highway 89A.

After Lees Ferry, there’s a long flat drive through a valley before climbing up to a view of the Vermilion Cliffs.

We made it to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon just before sunset.
