Primary Colours - (Chinle, AZ - Grand Canyon, AZ)

The drive from Chinle to the Grand Canyon took me through all sorts of stunning scenery. From forests, to mountains, to plains, to canyons it went through a wide variety. Early in the journey it was very yellow, almost Cotswold stone, but later it turned red like driving through Mars! Unfortunately I was too busy driving to grab many photos but here are a couple.

Along the way there was a set of roadworks (the road was down to one lane for more than a mile). Rather than having a stop/go board controlling this, they had a stop/slow board to tell you how you should be driving through it!

Arriving in the Grand Canyon, I had to drive through the park to get to my hotel. I had a look at one stop (very impressive) but missed the rest so as not to spoil myself! Usually there is a charge to drive through, but as it was midsummer's day it was free!
