Newspaper Rock |
Newspaper rock is a petroglyph panel that records more than 2,000 years of Early Man's writing. It dates back from BC times to 1300.
We arrived at Natural Bridges National Monument at about 10:15. The park was easy to see in a short amount of time.
We hiked to one that was only a .2 mile hike. It seemed like it was longer, perhaps because it was heating up and going was all downhill.
Muley Point |
Leaving Natural Bridges National Monument we continued on The Trail of The Ancients to Muley Point where we would get a view of Monument Valley in the distance.
Moki Dugway |
Next on the agenda was driving down Moki Dugway. Once at the bottom we found a pull out and crawled in the back of the camper for a cool spot for lunch. After driving through the Valley of the Gods we continued on to Bluff hoping to find a spot in a RV park.
Valley of the Gods, Utah |
We arrived in Bluff, Utah and it was 102 degrees. We found a shady, grassy spot at Cottonwood RV Park. Unfortunately, the shade didn't feel any cooler than the sun. We decided to stay in a hotel and enjoy their air conditioning. We had passed the Desert Rose and thought it looked good, so we drove back and secured a room. This was a great respite from the heat, the room was well worth the $117 we paid with AAA discount. We had a good dinner at the Bluff Diner even though they only had one order of ribs and no Navajo Fry Bread.
