Today we have driven to Chinle for a two night stay so that we can explore Canyon De Chelly. We first drove through the Rainbow Desert many years ago and its beauty moved me to tears then and again today. I wish my photo could convey the colours more truly. The desert is pale pink and red, pale green and sage green, pale yellow and dusty gold – truly beautiful to behold and vast!

Just a short stretch of the long, long roads that America has the space for!
The Hubble Trading Post
is an enchanting place, full of treasures and we serendipitously arrived just as a rare tour of the Hubble House was to start. The Trading Post dates from the 1870s and has a fascinating history. Click the red link for more. Enjoy the gallery below.
It made us smile to find ourselves in Room 67 in Thunderbird Lodge as 1967 is the year we married.
