Arizona Desert . . . (Unexpected)

Desert - Arizona  2012

As Mike traveled north from Las Vegas towards St. George, Utah, he was surprised to find himself entering Arizona. Interesting! He didn't know that was going to happen: there's a tiny section of Arizona to travel through going from Nevada to Utah.

Very scenic, even though tiny. The drive though the Virgin River Canyon is awe-inspiring, although there's a sad lack of turnouts. But then one comes across the Virgin River Canyon Recreation Area. Mike had to stop and walk around a bit in spite of the over 90 degree (F) heat.
