Southeast Utah

Bill is standing in front of the San
Juan River at the San Juan Inn
in Mexican Hat, UT.

Cactus in bloom at the
San Juan Inn.

Yes, there is a "Mexican Hat"
geological formation in
Mexican Hat, UT!

Here we are at Goosenecks State Park.
The astonishing views are created
by the San Juan River meandering
through the canyon.

1,000 feet below the overlook,
the desert landscape reveals its
underlying structure exposing
300-million years of
geologic activity.

Welcome to the Moki Dugway!

You can see from this photo the road
is very narrow with no guard rails.
What a thrill!!!

Natural bridges are formed by the
erosive action of moving water.

The Sipapu Bridge is a mature
bridge.  It is the highest and
greatest in span.

The Owachomo Bridge is 106 feet high
and spans 180 feet.

This interesting formation is
called Jacob's Chair.

Taken in the Glen Canyon Recreational
Area.  You can see the bridge in the
center that crosses the Colorado River.

Taken on Route 24 on the way to 
Torrey, UT.  It's beautiful, yet eerie
at the same time.

After a rather long and treacherous journey
at times, we arrived at the Red Sands Hotel.
This was our view out our back window
at sunset.
