Visit to Four of Southwest USA's National Parks (Part Six of Many!)

[<em>A very old travelogue lurches towards completion</em>]
As I was concentrating on the scenery at the <a href="http://porcupyn.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/visit-to-four-of-southwest-usa%e2%80%99s-national-parks-part-five-of-many/">North Rim of the Grand Canyon</a>, I forgot to share the photos that I took enroute there from Hurricane. Though there is hardly any vegetation on this route, the colours on the ground, the mountains and the hues on the clouds combine to provide a singularly picturesque locale. If it was not so unbearably hot, above 105 degrees F, we would probably have stopped at a few more places and taken photos. As it was, we stopped at two-three places, and the rest of these photos were from within the vehicle. Here are a few of the ones I really liked (I will add captions sooooon) ...

<p>The photo on the right gives the idea of something similar to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event">Tunguska event</a> (on a smaller scale, of course), which is still a mystery.</p>
