A really cold night again. Adie was fine in the new sleeping bag, but Pierre froze half the night.

At 6AM we take the trail again, which is in really good condition till the Johnson Canyon Road. From here we make our road toward Page.

At Page we fill the tank and coffee cups. Looking for a way to visit Antelope Canyon, we only find organized tours. We don’t like it so we decide to skip this canyon and replace it by a visit of an old mining village South of Lechee. There is almost nothing left.

By the way it’s again a non paved road! Sandy this time!

The road toward Monument Valley is pretty cool, plenty of nice views.

In Monument Valley we do a 17 miles loop in the sand to have an overview of the different monuments.

We then go on to Mexican Hat, and from there we head North to Natural Bridges Natl Monument. The road brings us in front of a wall of a thousand feet high, with only a small non paved road to pass it! But again, well worth it!

As we want a shower and a real bed tonight, we have to go at least to Greenriver, 200 miles North from here, so the Bridges visit is… really short… only a few pictures from the view point areas. We will have to come back another time to make the hikes, which must be really nice.

We then go throught Fry Canyon and White Canyon (Colorado river). This is not even a scenic road on our map, but… look at the pictures, it says it all.

Hanksville… Strangest gas station we ever come by. It’s in the mountain!

The crossing of the San Rafael Desert is priceless, fabulous sunset.

We end up in a small motel in Greenriver at around 8:30PM, and soon find our way to the local pub. Great beer, and best burger around! Time to sleep!
