Wupatki NM, one of several ruins in the area.

The Wupatki ball court with aspiring player reviewing the rules.

We stopped briefly at Sunset Crater and Wupatki NMs - neat but not spectacular.  Having lived in the PNW for several years, having visited Hawaii and flying over the active volcano there, and having toured the southern Idaho volcanic parks, it’s been there done that.  Wupatki has several ruins but when compared to Mesa Verde, Chaco, et al, not that awesome. 

This picture and the 2 below are of Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River, a few miles below Glen Canyon Dam.

Our campground overlooking Wahweap Bay on Lake Powell: a room with a view.

The GCNRA is anything but ho-hum.  The pix speak for themselves, with much more eloquence than a mere human can ever hope to achieve.
