Roadtrip from Mesa

A summer road trip across the American Southwest: from Mesa, Arizona to the Grand Canyon's South Rim, then on to Horseshoe Bend and Glen Canyon Dam in Page. The route continues east through Monument Valley, Mexican Hat, and Bluff before landing in Moab, where red rock spires, balanced boulders, and the arches of Arches National Park take over. Along the way: mule deer, jackrabbits, lizards, songbirds, and canyon skies for days.
