Arizona

Red rocks and FINALLY the Grand Canyon. #BucketList

When my company sent me to Phoenix for meetings on the eve of a holiday weekend, I decided it would be silly not to take advantage. I booked my return for the following Tuesday, giving me four days to explore Arizona.

Red Rocks State Park

Tuzigoot

With the federal government shut down, I only got to see Tuzigoot from the locked entrance gate.

Jerome

This tiny copper mining town perched on Cleopatra Hill now houses art galleries, cafes, and glorious views of the Verde Valley.

Sedona

Moonrise hot tub

Sunrise hike at Airport Road

Oak Creek Canyon State Park

I took the scenic drive north from Sedona so that I could meander through Oak Creek Canyon, stopping at the West Fork for a hike.

Sunset Crater National Monument

Grand Canyon National Park

Meteor Crater

Driving from Winslow

Day 5: Sheridan to Mt Rushmore

I arrived in Sheridan, Wyoming after the campground office closed, but before everyone had gone to bed. I ended up having beers with a family who had just come from Mt. Rushmore. They gave me a tip on a lesser-known campground, since the KOA had been booked when I tried to reserve there. I left early the next day, and crammed in a bunch of sight-seeing:

Devil's Tower
Random western town of Hulett, WY
Spearfish Canyon scenic drive
Black Hills National Forest
Deadwood
Sturgis
Mt Rushmore evening lighting ceremony
