Started the day with a visit to the Glen Canyon Dam (not quite a National Park but we thought it was interesting)
Then - in total contrast- we drove through Monument Valley which was as amazing as I thought (and hoped) it was going to be.
We ended the day in Bluff, Utah the third state so far, the others being Nevada and Arizona.
The biggest problem is following the different time zones
Top Tip - I've kept my watch on one time zone and the car clock on another. Whenever we arrive somewhere we ask what time it is and then decide to use watch time or clock time. In case you are thinking we might be being a little bit dense about time here's the Lonely Planet guide to Time Zones in the West
"MST and PST cover the 11 states in this guide. Daylight savings time pushes the clock ahead an hour. Arizona does not observe daylight saving time, so during that period it's one hour behind other SW states. The Navajo Reservation, which lies in Arizona and Utah, does use daylight saving time. The Hopi reservation, which is surrounded by the Navajo reservation in Arizona, follows the rest of Arizona"
The watch and clock idea makes sense now doesn't it??
