#2 Bluff, Utah Spring 2025

Bluff, Utah has a Bluff. It has a rock formation, not a poker bid.
April 22:   We hope to see Goose Neck Park, THE Mexican Hat rock formation, and Garden of the Gods. Here we go.

Valley of the Gods-Near Mexican Hat
Valley of the Gods is a 2-hour hard drive between some awesome rock formations.
Carol and the Goose Necks Above and Below
We remember scorching hot days in canoes floating through these meanders. One day there was a distant low roar. It grew louder and louder until a Stealth Fighter appeared above us-crazy pilots.
We canoed these Goose Necks, a meander of the San Juan River, many times in open canoes.
We always stopped on our canoe trips at a restaurant in Mexican Hat where we always ordered a Navajo Taco and a beer unless it was election day, no beer on election day. I remember that day very well.

From Mexican Hat towards Monument Valley is The Forest Gump Spot in the road. I may be very crowded in the middle of nowhere.

Delaware Gap Sept.1-4

LEHIGH GORGE SCENIC RAILWAY(Below)

Several plans were aborted or deferred on this stop. The train ride was accomplished. We shared the train with 500 fellow passengers. For a westerner if this eastern “gorge” were in Colorado, it would be called a wooded hillside.

The open car is a great ride.

Rule 1 keep heads & hands inside
Pups get a ticket to ride.

JIM THORP the town

The town of Jim Thorp is utterly magnificent.

Dear New Mexico friends: who knew rivers can have water in them, blue water.

DELAWARE RIVER

BUSHKILL FALLS

Bushkill Falls The Niagara of Pennsylvania (if there is water).

When we visited Bushkill Falls we were told tickets to hike to the falls were $17.00 each (dogs hike free). And, by the way most of the falls were dry and not running (falling) due to drought. Even though most waterfalls were not actually falling ,there were hundreds of people lined up and hiking the falls, not us.
