July 2018 Trip AZ,UT,CO (Picture Heavy)
Hello from Chris and Bev. This is a description of our trip to Arizona, Utah and a bit of Colorado from July 7-20, 2018.
Day 1-2
We started out from San Diego on the morning of July 7 and headed out I-8 and up through Phoenix to finally end up at the Potato Patch campground in the Prescott National Forest above Jerome. The second day we went down to Clarkdale where we had reservations to take the excursion train which runs up the Verde River gorge. Our ride didn’t start until 1 PM so to fill the time we went exploring on some dirt roads which parallel the river on the opposite side from the railroad. From here we could see portions of the railroad including some bridges. After that we visited Tuzigoot national Monument. The railroad follows the Verde River and is about 20 miles out and back and takes about 4 hours. Along the way one passes cliff dwellings and spectacular scenery. After completing that we headed up to a National Forest campground just outside of Sunset Crater National Monument.
To be continued...
