P.S. In October of last year I saw a guy at the Statue of Liberty doing all of his stills and his video with his iPad. Last edited by nookandcrannycar; 07-22-2014 at 03:52 PM. Reason: added P.S. |

The following pictures are in southern Utah on the way to Monument Valley. One of the formations is known as "Mexican Hat".

My friend Mike who lives in Colorado says when he wants to go sightseeing he goes to Utah. Certainly the southern half of the state has some of the best scenery in the country.

These pictures are in the Monument Valley area.
Next is a dam on the Colorado River. Forget the name!

^^^^^ Yesterday, this road made Yahoo's '20 roads you should drive in your lifetime' list. I've driven four of them (the Overseas Highway in Florida, I-70 (in and around Utah), The Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, and The Blue Ridge Parkway), and definitely plan to drive this road...to see some of these formations....at some point. The Great Ocean Road in Australia also really pops out at me on the list.

Road # One is Route 93 aka The Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper, Alberta Canada.
Get out your Rand McNally Atlas and find Route 40 a thin grey line reading "closed in winter" which is right nearby...this is shorter but even more better!

We must be talking about a different list (Icefields Parkway #1 on YOUR list, perhaps ). The Yahoo list includes (they didn't rank them within the list): The Blue Ridge Parkway (NC and VA), the Great Ocean Road (Australia), Oberalp Pass (Switzerland), Your road through Monument Valley (), The Cabot Trail (Nova Scotia, Canada), the A82 Road (Glencoe, Scotland), the Overseas Highway (Florida), the Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road (Abu Dhabi), the Trollstigen Road (Norway), Ruta 40 (Argentina....3,000 miles..North to South...almost the length of Argentina...crosses 18 rivers and passes 20 national parks), the Hana Highway (Hawaii), North Yungas Road (Bolivia), Col de l'Iseran (France), Chapman's Peak Drive (South Africa), Rohtang Pass (India), The Atlantic Road (Norway), Interstate 70 (USA), Karakorum Highway (Pakistan and China), The Milford Road (New Zealand), and The Valley of Fire Road (Nevada). |

Interesting list I am not up on foreign roads. If you can afford it...great! I would be stuck in NA.
In 1967 when I was 11 my family went on a camping station wagon tour of the US and Canada for eight weeks. In some campground out west about five in the morning in the dark I was trudging toward the bathroom when I saw a little black bear running through the woods with a loaf of bread in its mouth. It ran across my path about five yards ahead of me. Right behind it was the proverbial woman with a frying pan chasing it and cursing the bear out. The bear went up a tree just as fast as it ran along the ground. Then it ate all the bread and rained down pieces of it on the woman who stood under the tree yelling. I thought it was pretty impressive the woman would chase the bear but Im gald she didn't catch it!

I left the Monument Valley, drove about another 100 miles, and stopped for the night. The next day I came to The Vermillion Cliffs which is right before the north rim of the Grand Canyon.
