Day 21: Flight to Flagstaff

Friday, Nov 4

Ok, not really an airline flight, but the road trip today on one particular rain-soaked road did seem a bit like flying. (And, well, I needed an “F” word that was printable.)

Today’s topic is weather. Cloudy, rainy, thunder stormy, cold(ish), foggy, even sunny weather. Not to mention high desert, mountain passes, wooded forests, and grassy plains. All in a day’s drive. Scenery changes alone kept it interesting.

Spotted several rainbows (horizon on left) among the clouds and hills

Crossed the continental divide, another time zone, and a state border, all before noon. The Mountain time zone, surprisingly, is a mere one state (New Mexico) wide here.

Even the rest stops in Arizona have interesting rock formations to play on

Ended the day in Flagstaff with a run in the local jogging park up in the hills.

Entrance to Buffalo Park with a scenic 2-mile loop trail (not sure what the stage coach has to do with it)
