If anyone tells you to drive down Cottonwood Canyon Road to see the Grosvenor Arch, your answer is, "Great! We'll take YOUR car!" My 2008 Toyota Highlander is now fifteen years old.
Oh, all right. it is a pretty drive, even with the ruts and potholes, just because of the flowers.
The Grosvenor Arch is named for Gilbert Grosvenor, long time head of National Geographic, after is was discovered on a 1949 NatGeo expedition that also discovered Kodachrome Basin.
Meanwhile, the mosquitoes in Arizona told the mosquitoes here that I taste like chicken. There was an air Force here waiting for me, and I now have bites on every exposed inch of my glorious body--even my bites from the pond in Sedona have bites!
The bites will heal in a week or so, but the pictures will endure.
In the afternoon, I walked all over Kodachrome Basin State Park, but that will have wait for another post. This picture is of the Grand Parade formations, the signature attraction of the park.
And now, it's time to hit the trail to Escalante and my foray onto Mormon history...
