Sarah and Dominik travelling the United States with Cocker Spaniel Eyra
Still in in the state of Utah we visited Canyonlands National Park and the adjoint Dead Horse Point State Park (not to be confused with the Dead Horse Ranch State Park, AZ), where we were based. Personally we did enjoy Canyonlands more than Gran Canyon, although it looks like the little brother of Grand Canyon,... Continue Reading →
Driving further North just minutes from Monument Valley (MV) we got surprised by a herd of wild horses crossing the highway. Absolutely amazing.. Further our way about 30 minutes North from the MV is a small village called Mexican Hat. The picture further below makes it definitively clear, why they have given the village that...

In late afternoon we passed after a scenic drive from North Arizona the state line of Utah. Monument Valley is sitting on the state line of Arizona and Utah and is consuming both states for itself. We directly headed out to the scenic overlook of the Monument Valley and could shoot some nice sun-downer pictures... Continue Reading →
After hot Phoenix we went up North within Arizona into the "Verde Valley" to Cottonwood, where we had our base camp in the Dead Horse Ranch State Park. After the desert it's good to see trees. The Coconino National Forest has tons of them 😂 It's clearly much cooler, fresh air with a pine wood taste... Continue Reading →
Phoenix.. known for hot temperatures, deserts and dust storms. But.. next to the definitively beautiful desert, you'll find mountains, lakes, rivers.. lots of wild life and for example wild horses! You can hike, bike, play golf or even boat and fish.. We enjoyed the nature of this area with the current temperatures very much... 😎... Continue Reading →
Phoenix in Arizona, again a city, which has not the best reputation, especially in Europe, and was not recommended to us to visit, but which is so beautiful and underrated in our view. On every corner they are building new parks, plant trees and try to upgrade the city. It even has city-ambassadors around everywhere... Continue Reading →
We'd like to wish all our friends & family a very happy Easter. best wishes from Phoenix, Arizona and a real bunny.. check out the background! He came one day too early.. and entertained us while dinner on Saturday evening before Easter Sunday.
Saguaro National Park is as the name says, a park with lots of old Saguaros in it. These cacti can get as tall as a three story building (50 feet) and get very old (around 150 years old). There are lots of trails for hiking and some ancient stone pictographs to find. Wonderful evening sky... Continue Reading →
As we entered the area of Tucson in Arizona, we entered sunny hot desert with lots of cacti of all sorts. The area is especially famous for the Saguaro cactus, which can get around 150 years old and up to 50 feet (15m) high. They build their side arms after around 70 years only. Within...

Finally leaving Texas, we drove into New Mexico and visited the White Sands National Monument ( thanks for the recommendation to C.R.) on our way to Arizona. Unfortunately there was a small storm on that day with winds of 50 mph (around 80 kmh), which doesn't help too much for your view when you are... Continue Reading →
