Well, I am not sure the rest of out trip will be as visually stunning as the last several days. I say that from our hotel room in Holbrook, AZ....the beginning of our Route 66 return home.
We departed Monument Valley around 11a and drove along the eastern edge of Arizona through to Holbrook. We did see some very beautiful country on the way, but the highlight was the Painted Desert just outside of Holbrook, toward New Mexico.
The Painted Desert and Petrified Forest National Park are adjacent to each other and today we arrived in time to see the sunset on the Painted Desert. On the recommendation of the park ranger we drove straight to Pintado Point. It was very nice with various red shades contrasting with the striking blue sky with scattered clouds.
We did not spend much time in the park this evening because the park was closing. Tomorrow we may spend some time driving the 25 miles through the Petrified Forest. As soon as we finish that we will follow Route 66 to Kingman and the push on to Lake Havasu.
