Headed For Utah

[sparker1]

Drove 576 miles today, stopping at an RV park/fish camp in Louisiana. it's a neat place, and the day has been beautiful. Still, I'm anxious to reach Kanab.

Have a safe trip out :2thumbs:

Have a safe and enjoyable trip to Utah. You will love it

[sparker1]

Thanks for your good wishes. Another 500 miles on Monday put us in Bowie, TX. The train here woke us early, so we'll be in Albuquerque in time to tour a bit. Still plan to be in Kanab on Sat.

What's the plan after you hit Kanab? And have a safe journey! eclipsee_steering

Good to hear the trip is going well. :2thumbs: I wish we could stop when we make that trip, the only thing we do stop for is fuel :haha:

[DiscGo]

Another 540 miles today, despite powerful winds...very tiring. Expecting worse tomorrow, so will no longer plan to visit sites near Albuquerque, just keep pushing. Will stop to visit Coal Mine Canyon (a favorite of mine) before moving on to Kanab.

Plan to stay in Kanab for at least 2 weeks, doing North & South Coyote Buttes, Wire Pass & a little of Buckskin, Willis Creek, Bull Valley Gorge, etc, etc. Also, a day in Page for Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, other nearby stuff. Most of this is repeat, but that's OK.

If weather cooperates, we'll spend time in Escalante, Capitol Reef and Moab, eventually moving on to Nevada and other states.

We will have the red carpet ready for your arrival :nod:

I love Coalmine Canyon. It's like a little Bryce Canyon :2thumbs:



Where's that? Any pics

I have been there last May and really enjoyed the visit. It was great.
The Canyon ist near Tuba City. When you`re coming from Tuba City, look for a wind mill on the left side of Highway 264. The mill is visible long before you reach the exit near Milemarker 337.

Just arrived and checked in at Tuba City. Will go to Coal Mine Canyon for sunset (unfortunately, no clouds at the moment).

Here's a link to last year's photos of Coal Mine Canyon.

Cool Pics,especially the ones with the dark clouds. I never thought it will look so totally different and moody, when a storm is coming in :2thumbs:
And the colors, really impressing.

Good luck for your sunset at the canyon. I wish I could be there.
Have you ever been to the bottom of the canyon? That is somethoing, I wanna do one day. :mrgreen:

I tried to find a good path down last year, but failed. I have since heard about a trail down, so I'll look for it again today. This is such a magnificent place, I'm surprised it isn't better known.

Wow! Outstanding shot! Mysterious!!! I love it!

Banner shot for sure!!!

[sparker1]

Well, I screwed up big time. Waited until an hour before sunset, expecting to get the last golden light plus any sunset color. I arrived to find the canyon mostly in shadow (mountains, ya know) and there was no sunset color there. I did find a trail going down, but it was getting too dark to follow it all the way. Maybe next time through.

This thread is now officially out of date. We arrived in Kanab around noon today, and have set up at Kanab RV Corral. Anyone expecting to be in this area over the next couple weeks, let me know. I'd love to buy coffee for you and get acquainted.

[Win]

Glad you made it safely. I'm sure I'll be back over that way by next weekend, not sure what we're doing tomorrow but will probably be on the East side of Zion on Sunday.
