With an extra early waking and a mad dash in the RV to get to Wahweap Lookout before the sunrise, we made it with barely a second to spare – still wiping the sleep out of our eyes and in our jammies (OK just me).
We made our wake-up coffee and sipped it as we watched the sun herald another glorious day.
After a roadside tea break in the car park of a dentist’s rooms in Kanab, dubbed Little Hollywood for all it's cowboy movies filmed there, we were again on our way and soon hit the cliff edge switchbacks and our first tunnel, which was a breeze. The second tunnel was 2km long in the pitch dark with barely enough space either side of our RV. The tunnel measurements in the photo are 11”1’ height on the sides of the tunnel and our van measures 12”0’ in height – WTH! The ranger has to stop oncoming traffic and allow wide vehicles to go through single file over the middle yellow lines – scary stuff. Al is my new hero xx
After settling into Watchman Campground with no electricity and no onsite showers : ) we went on our first walk. The Archaelogy Trail, all of 0.4 miles but 80ft high, to see the outlines of prehistoric buildings. A little distant but exciting nonetheless.
