Goosenecks and surrounding areas to Bluff Utah

Goosenecks and other buttes in surrounding area Utah

This morning we revisited the twin towers restaurant and went into their huge shop . 

It sold only Navajo crafts and it was a wonderful display. Very different and although pricey it was good authentic wares.

We bought a few souvenirs 

At Goosenecks SP the sun was behind us and we caught different scenes 

It was 78*f I have to keep recording the temps as this time next week I’ll be in the cold and rainy Thornbury weather!

We are going to have a lazy day viewing the red rocks and the san Juan river one thousand feet below us. The river was originally on a plain but the land rose and the river remains below eroding the rock strata from millions of years ago. Look it up it’s worth reading

We went towards the valley of the gods on a tarmac road. It changed to a gravel road so we turned around. We got some lovely takes of the red rocks

and then decided to revisit The Mexican hat.

It really stands out from all the surrounding hills 

Today we wanted to scoop up all the remaining places we wished to visit one of them was the 4 corners where 4 states meet. BUT we turned around it was such a long road and not pretty. So we are back in Bluff sitting in the shade outside our room. We are going out for dinner to the smoke room down the road later. Xxx

I took some photos of the Navajo crafts to remember them.

    For sure you should make the most of the heat and dry weather for as long as you can…

    About the 4 corners where 4 states meet, I can only suggest one solution to see them…go back in a couple of years!

    As for the views and landscapes described today, it almost look like if you had landed on Mars! for sure these stones give a true testimony of time…

    And you are there, in the middle of such wonders and incredible places… Take it all in!
