One of the things I like to do the most when travelling is taking road trips. Road trips allow you to see things that you wouldn’t get to see if you stayed in a major city hub. You can travel at your own pace, stop whenever you want, and spend more or less time at a location. This is one of the major reasons we often try to see things independently without a tour group.

When we visited Arizona and Utah we were treated to some really nice scenery. Here are a few of the photos I was able to capture while on our road trip. I was surprised at the beauty of the landscapes in Arizona about a couple hours beyond the Grand Canyon.

The first picture (above) is of the Colorado River. It is hard to believe that it ran Miles away from the Grand Canyon and ran so deep as well.

An abandoned shack in Arizona. I was surprised by the amount of Native Reserves in Arizona.
