Roadside America

Day Seven - 12/25/2003
Southeastern Utah

Rather than head back south into Arizona to head back westward, we decided to head north on US 191 up to I-70 in Southern Utah, and then take that west towards I-15 south to Las Vegas. We figured there should be something worth seeing in Arches National Park near Moab, UT. The only problem was that we hit a massive snowstorm that dragged our trip into and out of this state into a "12 hour tour." The first place of note that we passed on our way up was a town called Mexican Hat, as shown below:

We should have tried to dance around it!

After driving by Mexican Hat, we made our way up to Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. We didn't see many arches, though!

Why do these look familiar?

The weather looked really nice in these photos. We had no idea we would be in for one heck of a snowstorm during the rest of our way through Utah! Oh well, 12 hours later we were finally out of the state.
