This is a new favorite surpassing '10 recent favorites'.
From the low point, heading to a high.
Two weeks in Tucson proved better than we could envisage. However, one thing missing in the region is water, particularly a river or lake. We have 3 favorite places close to water, and strangely, they are in deserts. In no particularly order, they flow through our minds and have and continue to make incredible impressions. Truth be told, they also have had an influence in shaping our lives to a degree. For the record, they are Powell, Roosevelt and Mead also known as PRM. One and three are fed from a natural wonder that holds it all together, the incredible Colorado River. Should you feel the need to stand and cheer, it would not be out of place to do it now. Should anyone question your behavior, don't say Jenni and Jeffrey have lost it. Rather, mention they have found it—the magnificent Colorado River.
The Colorado, we're sure many others, too, beautifies and leaves impressions on each region it touches including ourselves. Not that we needed a reason to visit Page again. We did it twice in the latter half of 2020, but with cold weather expected currently, we had to consider the trip carefully. Jenni can only use 1 hot-water-bottle at a time. Fortunately, we found a gap in the weather, took it and drove from the southern part of the state of Arizona to its northern border with Utah. A 7-hour journey was soon forgotten the moment we climbed the rocks along the river and Lake Powell. This place is gorgeous for want of repetition.
We believe each visit we see the same city and its surrounds but every occasion new vistas, formations, colors and opportunities present themselves. For that, and many other aspects, we consider ourselves most fortunate. Here we are again in Page, the home of the great Navajo nation, the path of the Colorado River and the site of Lake Powell and Glen Canyon Dam. We would recommend it.
In an environment fit for a pedestal.
Going rock-a-bout.
In training for spring, to leap across the Colorado. ('One small step for man, one dumb act for mankind and not too good for the hips either.')
Going round the bend and loving it.
Cold beginning, a hot and colorful finish.
Blues Rock and reflections in color.
Antelope Marina, outside the City.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
