We came into Arizona and went to the Four Corners. And we had no idea we had to pay to go to the Four Corners!!!! I was pretty upset about that. And it was pretty janky, not the actual spot where the corner met but everything else. I wasn't impressed.
So that started my disliking for Arizona right away. But there was one pretty cool part of Arizona, The Petrified National Forest. They had huge petrified trees all OVER the place! The tress had gypsum, quartz, amathus, and others. Some were great big logs and some you could see coming through the ground. Give them a couple more good rains and a new log will appear from the sand.
And theres the Grand Canyon... we it is very pretty but after being there for an hour or more I was pretty done. It was WAY to touristy for us. And they don't allow dogs on the trail which is one of the big reasons we wanted to got to Grand Canyon. We wanted to experience it not just see it. So that was a disappointment. All in all i would say Arizona was really trying to get as much money from people as possible.
Going to the Hoover Dam was kinda on the same field as Grand Canyon. It took beautiful pictures but i really thought it was gonna be bigger. And we had to park SUPER far away which wasnt bad if we didnt have Carbon in the car on the first hot day in like a month and his poor winter coat hand come off yet( and i just dont like leaving my baby in the car). So we were in and out of there pretty quick. We also drove through Las Vegas. And when i say drove through i really mean drove through. We went down Las Vegas Blvd and saw all the funny people and all the cool buildings. Me and Jon couldnt find parking and didnt really wanna walk Carbon through all those crazy people. So well be going back some other day to really check it out.
Now to Utah... No, we havent met any Mormons. Yes, it is very beautiful country. We are actually having a lot of fun driving and hanging out here. We went to Lake Powell and it was so much fun just getting to chill and Carbon loved it. I dont know if there are to many National Parks or Monuments here but i think it'll be just as fun hanging out in the forest.
Food for Thought: Is it best to do what you want to do or do what you feel you must?
