Snow!


Sunday, April 20th

Mother nature is messing with our plans again. We left Santa Fe early with the intention of spending the late morning riding in Taos. Um, no. Temps in the 40s and rain.

So we ditched that plan and bolted for Colorado to get as close as possible to Utah for the night.

Not far north of Taos is the Rio Grande canyon.



 
We stopped there for lunch, enjoyed the views from the bridge and were on our way again, through more desert and bouts of rain until near the Colorado border we encountered this: 
It's amazing how much things can change in 2 hours!
Bye, New Mexico!
We're spending the night in Cortez, 20 miles from Utah. We've learned that the campgrounds  in Arches, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef are booked as well as many of those around Moab. We'll be up early again to get there before noon for the best walk-in chances. Wish us luck!
