To the Staircase
Today’s journey took us from Page, Arizona and Lake Powell across southern Utah to Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
Unlike the previous day, it was not an arduous drive and as we traversed mountain passes, plateaus, and canyons, the scenery grew increasingly spectacular until we hit Red Rock Canyon where we got out and walked among these rock formations. Some of the most vertically spectacular of these are called hoodoos. Interestingly, the camera did not, could not, I guess, replicate the intensity of the colors we saw. But these images get close.

The final image is the hills outside our hotel window at sunset.
We will celebrate Friday the 13th by going off-road, which is really the only way to see this place, in the coupe. What could go wrong?
