Valley of the Gods to Page, AZ
A quiet morning in Valley of the Gods turns into a long, unhurried drive past Mexican Hat, Monument Valley, and fading desert light. Failed star trails, empty roads, grazing horses, and a last-minute stop in Page, Arizona shape a day that never quite goes as planned, but feels exactly right.
Hurricane, Utah to Lone Rock
I left Hurricane after Christmas, trading uncertain ski conditions for a drive across southern Utah and northern Arizona. The route climbed onto the Kaibab Plateau, dropped into Lee’s Ferry, crossed the Colorado River, passed the Vermilion Cliffs, and ended at Lone Rock, where the exposed shoreline made the absence of Lake Powell impossible to ignore.
