The Grand Circle

Pictures to come. Please check back at at later date for photos.


The Grand Circle

We just finished the Grand Circle. We were unable to see all the circle has to offer but we tried our best. There is so much to see & enjoy in this circle of discovery. There is a variety of color & moods throughout the circle, so each person can enjoy the circle in their own style & manner.

The Grand Circle embraces America's largest concentration of National Parks, monuments, forests, state parks, historical sites & tribal land. It has the greatest collection of scenic & historic byways. The Circle also is an ancient homeland. It encompasses 4 states: Arizona, New Mexico, Utah & Colorado. This area is called the Colorado Plateau.

We started our journey through the circle at the Grand Canyon in Arizona and ended it with Dead Horse Park & the Canyonlands in Utah. The Coloroado River has carved scores of canyon through the circle making the scenery outstanding and Butch Cassidy & other outlaws found refuge in these canyons. The canyons weren't familiar areas for the lawmen & the outlaws found safety in them.

Now we will continue our journey to the Grand Tetons & Yellowstone. So much to see & so little time to see it.
