The day's ride from Flagstaff to Provo started out in the mountains, came down through some desert areas, and then these beautiful mountains (rock formations? mesas?) appeared in the misty distance.
I'm a fan of strange signs. This one, if you have trouble making it out, explains that there will be "no jumping from bridge." It's over 460 feet to the canyon floor, by the way. However, when I googled Navajo Bridge I noticed some entries about bungee jumping (you can imagine the language you'll hear if you click the link and view the video). There's just no accounting for the actions of folks way more adventurous than I am.
After leaving the bridge, we continued on our long day's drive ending in Provo, Utah, where we had hotel reservations.
I'm putting in this last photo to remind us that we really shouldn't attempt such long driving days. That is one tired man, barely able to hold up that beer that night at supper. He managed to choke it down, though.

Stunning scenery. You have so much beauty to enjoy. The cold one looks good too ;-)
Such a beautiful, dramatic place and your captures are terrific -- including the last shot!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful colors!
Even the beer matches the colour theme of your day's travels. What astounding landscapes.
Absolutely nothing can compare with western scenery! Lovely shots, Claire!
When I checked in to your blog, I said out loud, "Oh!" A wonderful trip for you, and thanks for taking me along. I loved it.
I know just how you felt seeing that beautiful bridge and thinking about those bungee jumpers. Heck I even know just how your sweet husband felt at the end of the day!
