Mesa Verde was the first major park on our way from Santa Fe, Taos, San Pueblo, Chama, Ship Rock. After a night in Glen Canyon we headed for Grand Canyon passing by Monument Valley. Wupatki Sunset Crater was a nice surprise. When returning from the west coast we drove to Death Valley. Lake Mead, and world famous parks like Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands and Arches National Park followed. To cool off from the deserts we drove up to the Rocky Mountains National Park in Colorado.
