Discovering Arizona

Do you remember my pics from San Diego??

While I was there, I took some time to visit some interesting places...one of them is Arizona!

This land took my heart with its breathless horizons, vivid colours and bare rocks! 

it's so amazing I wanna share it with you...follow me during this journey!

ready to leave! ;)

Our trip started from Phoenix (hottest city ever!) where we rented a car and left towards north, aiming to travel across the state seeing as much as possible of the incredible nature around us...

We left the city driving on the route 17 that leads to Flagstaff. The landscape here is amazing: endless desert expanses all around you...red rocks and the perfect blue sky... 

Then we stopped in a unique city, Sedona, where the red rocks are surrounded by a profuse green vegetation. 

I suggest you to stop by if you get the chance to be there...it definetely deserves a stop!

Back in the car we finally entered the outstanding Monument Valley, whose unforgettable rocks require tons of pictures!

aren't they amazing??

The next stop was The Four Corners Monument, the exact point among Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico! kind of exclusive being there! 

After that we took the famous Route 66 and drove towards Grand Canyon...

the landscape was incredibly changing...we abandoned the desert to discover a land covered with pines and, here and there, also with snow!!

And eventually we reached the Grand Canyon! this is a place I think everybody has to see at least once in his life...when you get there, on the edge of the cliffs, the view is so vast you can't embrace it all... and you are so stunned by what you are seeing that you just want to keep looking and looking!

hope I was able to convey a bit of what I felt when I was there...this trip gave me so much in terms of sensations that it makes me willing of doing nothing but traveling in my life!

have a nice day!

love
