We now leave Durango and with it Colorado behind us. We continue to Santa Fe and on our way to Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness. The Bisti/De-Na-Zin National Park is rather less known. Unjustly as it seems to me. It offers a bizarre landscape that needs to be explored on foot. But one after the other… After Farmington […]

Today, a day trip to Mesa Verde is on the agenda. The Anazasi Cliff Dwellings there are among the largest of their kind. A bit quieter than planned, the only way leads on foot to the Spruce House. The Mesa Top View loop is done by car. The back thanks it. In the evening I […]

Today we will go from Moab to Durango. For the 320 miles we will probably need about 8.5 hours. First stop is Cisco Ghosttown. Here we were 30 years ago looking for gasoline for the motorhome. At that time it was not yet a ghost town and there was a gas station, but it was […]

Today is Canyonlands and Arches National Park announced. The plan is to go first to Dead Horse Point State Park, then to Canyonlands National Park and in the afternoon from 2 pm to Arches National Park. So there is enough time for everything. Far from it, as it turns out later. Dead Horse Point is […]

Got up at 4 o’clock. Quickly a cigarette in front of the door and – oh wonder – there are stars to see. That can only mean clear visibility and the best conditions for the sunrise. Next fag a little later and… no stars and the trees opposite disappear also so slowly in the fog. […]

The day in Bryce Canyon becomes, as already feared, a disaster. Rain, rain, rain. During the night there was a lot of lightning. Twice we thought the cabin would collapse. Some of the cars in front of the rooms have started their alarm system… That was quite a crash, too, gentlemen. Bryce Canyon is in […]

So, let’s go. On to Bryce Canyon. Not seen 30 years ago, but probably a must for any Southwest tour. On the way a side trip to St. George to see “The Church of Jesus Christ”. It’s not as big as in Salt Lake City, but it’s on the way. Shortly after the mountains at […]

Las Vegas is not so the Abräumer during the day. Once on the Strip and looked, but that is not so tingly. Later then rather to the falling darkness loose. The pools in the hotel are already closed. It is also October and thus winter. It was the same in El Paso. But the weather […]

The outbound flight is unproblematic. From Hamburg at 07:05h with the BA machine to London and then at 09:55h from there on to Los Angeles. Of course, 15h without a cigarette break for smokers are not so easy, but it works. Only now and then to stand in the plane, that must be. Otherwise you […]
