I started out after that spectacular sunrise with a long day of driving ahead. Up the 163 to Mexican Hat, right at Bluff onto the spectacularly empty 191, and then left onto 160 to my first stop – Four Corners.
This is where the 4 states of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet – allowing me, with a couple of short steps, to add 2 new states to my visited list. That makes 26 now by my reckoning.
