The Grand Staircase
July 9,2006
We are touring the Grand Circle. The Grand Circle is in the Colorado Plateau, consisting of 4 states, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah & Colorado. The Grand Circle is truly an adventure. From the monuments of rock to the first Americans of a thousand years ago. It is truly a circle of discovery. This area is an ancient homeland where native peoples still dance & pray to the raingods.
Before we got on the road in the morning we had breakfast with 2 mule deer. I hated leaving the Bryce Canyon area. Our view of the mountains was truly amazing.
As we drove through the Grand Staircase each turn in the road led to another awesome view. Each turn more beautiful than the last. It is made up of chocolate, vermilion, white, gray and pink cliffs. It is a grand staircase of sequential cliffs & terraces. It is made up of 3 different regions: the Grand Staircase, the Kaiparowits Plateau, and the Canyons of the Escalante.
As we drove through the Staircase we saw a golden eagle. It flew right in front of our friends rv & then flew to the side of our rv. It was very exciting to see.
