I was in Moab in October of 2003, and took a morning drive along highway 128 towards the interstate, and turned around at the Colorado bridge and went back to my campground. It was daybreak and lots of clouds in the air! I got some fantastic cloud shots, with them hanging around the canyon walls.
Arches and all that area are wonderful. I also drove south to Monument Valley, when the campground was where they built the hotel in 2005 or 06?. I woke up to the 'mittens' just outside my windshield!
Grand Canyon is a big hole in the ground, and I have been there many times. The north rim has many more trees, and I hope to spend a summer there, exploring the area in a suitable tow vehicle. Marble Canyon was also great, and a location for a proposed but never built dam, just before the entrance of Grand Canyon.
I am looking forward to visiting the bridge over the Grand Canyon, that is actually built outside of the NP, to the west on a Indian Reservation. However they still need to build a better access road, and a campground at that site. Then I will visit.
I am happy to hear that you enjoyed all your travels. Might be a little late to say the air museum in Tucson is also great, showing off some WW2 and 1960's aircraft, along with other air history. I enjoyed Tomestone and Bisbee while sightseeing in that area in November - many years ago. The mine in Bisbee is really cool, like 60F. Nice on a hot day!
