I hope you aren’t sick of our pictures yet; I’ve added more! The first group comes from our drive out to Utah last week, which became my first time in Wyoming. The drive was very windy, cold, and we ran into a little storm too. It didn’t make for the best driving conditions, but it led to a few good pictures. Check them out in this gallery.

The second gallery comes from our brief stay at the Zermatt Resort. It was a very nice place, but a little secluded. Fortunately they had enough activities to keep us entertained for a little while, including some shuffleboard.

I’ve also posted pictures from our super busy Saturday after leaving the resort. After making a long drive, our first stop was at the Hovenweep National Monument, which is actually a series of various Native American Puebloan-era villages. The building remains date back to 800 years ago, or more. Had I known how much there was to see, I would have planned to spend more time here, but unfortunately we were only there for less than an hour.

From there we made another quick stop at the Four Corners. I’m sure most people know what I am referring to, but if not this is where four states all meet at one point. What I didn’t know prior to visiting is that the site actually sites on Native American lands, and the Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation Department actually run the site, charing $3 admission per person. There isn’t much to see there, but it’s cool to say that you once stood in four different states at the same time.

Continuing on, we drove through parts of New Mexico and Arizona to get out to Monument Valley. This area near the Arizona and Utah border is a sandy desert filled with many bright red buttes and mesas. It has been filmed many times for movies, especially westerns, TV commercials, etc, so it may look familiar. We didn’t make too many stops, as it was already getting late, but did manage to take a number of pictures. The best of what we have can be found here, along with other pictures of Hovenweep and the Four Corners.
