Update for Monday
We pushed on through Colorado Sunday and made our way down the scenic Hwy 160 toward Durango, CO. Then we headed NW up Hwy 550 toward Silverton, CO among all the peaks of the Rocky Mountains.
Progress was slow through most of the passes over the mountains. There was still quite a bit of snow on the ground and ice on the road. It was some of the most beautiful and breath-taking landscapes we have ever seen.
Once through the mountain passes we began our decent toward the canyons and desert mesas. There was quite a temperature change from the 11,000ft to 5,000 elevation.
We pushed on to Moab, UT to visit Arches National Park. We spent the rest of the afternoon hiking around Arches and taking pictures. After sunset we headed out of the park to push on.
Thomas checked his phone and found out that he had some work that required his immediate attention. So we got a room in Moab to let Thomas work and get some sleep.
We left out the morning on our way to Grand Canyon, AZ. Then pushing toward Los Angeles, CA for tonight.
