Thank you to Margie Anderson for this photo of Cliff Springs Trail, about a third of a mile north of Cape Royal. She notes that this gem is worth a hike. It's gorgeous.

We decided to take the granddaughters to Monument Valley for spring break this year. Excellent decision! John and the girls had never been there, and I hadn't been there since I was a kid, so we were all excited about going. We drove up to Flagstaff and spent the night – Em was able to stay in Trinity's apartment dorm with her – then we drove from Flagstaff to Monument Valley in the morning. It's about a three-hour drive from Flagstaff, which isn't too bad. Monument Valley actually extends ove... Full story

Lightweight sleeping bags are usually fine in Arizona, but when nights get chilly, you need more. Something along the stocking stuffer li... Full story
