Westward Ho!

We left ABQ and headed west to Arizona. We tossed around ideas about where to go to next. He suggested the Grand Canyon but I had already been to the south rim so I tried to persuade him to go to the north rim later in the trip. He won so we headed to Williams.

As we started crossing from New Mexico into Arizona the landscape started changing. We started seeing mesas...



And buttes....


We found pinion nuts for sale! I had never had them before but had my doubts about freshness.


Another beautiful sunset.


We made it to Williams and spent the night. The last time I went to the Grand Canyon we took the train. It was fun but we opted to drive this time.

While driving through town we spotted this sculpture of an elk family.


We drove north and took the usual touristy photos.



The mules used for the cabyon tours.


We spotted these on the way back and think they are for backup.


This peak is part of the San Francisco mountains in Flagstaff. It was interesting to see the accumulating snow.


We headed towards our next goal after leaving the canyon. More to come!
