Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 15. Palm Springs, Indian Canyon

The next day it was on to Palm Springs. I have to admit that this is one of the weirdest places I have ever visited, not necessarily in a good way. There were a number of reasons we stopped there. In the first place, we were getting close to the…

Patty’s Epic Trip to the US. Part 14. Sedona, Jerome and Prescott

On the move again. We visited lookout at the chapel on the hill (Chapel of the Holy Cross) in Sedona. Wonder who lives in that crazy house down there. We came through the creepiest-ever place called Jerome. The building with the red window frames was actually a brothel. I think…

Patty’s Epic Trip to the US. Part 12. Sedona Day 2

We started with a walk the next morning. It ended up a bit longer than we intended because there were so many different paths. Walking around Sedona is awesome. I can see how miserably hot it will get in summer, though. We were staying in a suburb called Oak Creek…

Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 11. Sedona Sunset

Sedona. I have no idea how I came to want to visit this place. No one outside the US talks much about it. I think I started looking at Google maps and thought the map looked interesting and randomly dropped myself into Google Streetview and went “Whoa!” Yup. No one…

Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 10. Grand Canyon

We stayed at the Gran Canyon for two days, and walked the entire South Rim trail. There was still a bit of snow around, and quite a lot of people. It was January. It was a weekday. I seriously don’t want to know what this place is like in summer!…

Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 9. Page

Page is a funny town along the Colorado River. It’s dry. It’s desolate. There is zero mobile reception. There is not a single tree or blade of grass to be seen anywhere. There is a disgusting factory at the edge of town. It’s full of motels, hotels and other forms…

Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 7. Indian Monument and Monument Valley

After Bryce Canyon, we were up for a big drive, from Bryce Canyon to Monument Valley, slightly complicated by the fact that up until now, the directions had either been clear or we’d used Google Maps. Uhm. No reception. AAAARRGGH. Technology. So we’re at this big intersection, and the option…

Patty’s Epic Trip to the US. Part 6. Bryce Canyon

We stayed in Ruby’s Inn at Bryce Canyon National Park for two nights. Being January, there was almost no one in the entire hotel, and OMG, it was cold. We walked the entire rim trail, and took hundreds of photographs of the snow and the weird rock formations below. The…

Patty’s Epic Trip To The US. Part 5. Zion to Bryce Canyon

When you’re in Zion National Park, there is a road that takes a steep, hairpin-riddled shortcut up to the top of the rocky platform and you can drive from there through farmland and forest to Bryce Canyon. The road gets quite busy in summer, I’ve been told, but in January,…

Patty’s Epic Trip to the US Part 4. Zion National Park

Slowly working through all the photos. We stayed in Vegas for one night, as you will have seen in the previous post, and the next day left to go north. Where the main road goes through a narrow pass, it started to get cold, and then it got colder, and…
