Day 28 / 29- Bryce Canyon to Monument Valley, Utah

We rise early for a long day driving from Bryce Canyon to Monument Valley, which is on the border of Arizona and Utah. We drive through Glen Canyon National Park, through the city of Page and picnicked by Lake Powell, which feeds its water supply all the way to the Hoover Dam.

We continued heading east and enter Navajo Nation where there is a large indigenous population. First impressions were that some seemed quite poor - as soon as we pulled into a service station, we had a local begging for money. Lovely man though and we had a good chat about the landscape.

We arrive in Monument Valley - the word ‘spectacular’ doesn’t seem to do justice to this place. The towering sandstone rock formations amongst the 30,000 acre desert valley is both awe inspiring and breathtaking.
We grab some pictures just on dusk and retire for the evening at out home for the next two nights in Goulding’s lodge. No beer here though - The reservation is all dry.

450km - 5 hours

Day 26 - Scenic (Arizona) to Panguitch

Departing at a reasonable hour we hook back up with the I-15 and travel north entering Utah within the first hour. The temperature starts to plummet and heads well into the single figures (Celsius)

We travel past the cities of St George and Cedar City, as the snow surrounds us. We turn right onto State Road 20 and then another right onto State Road 89 and arrive at Panguitch our home for the next two nights.

Quickly we learn that it is a religious town and most places are closed on Sundays. Our AirBNB is a cosy wood cabin with sufficient heating given the proposed -10c temperatures.

(340km, 4 hours approximately)

Day 25 - Departing Vegas on Route to Arizona.

Time to bid farewell to Vegas and make our way north with a quick stop at the Hoover Dam on the border of Arizona and Nevada. Constructed between 1931 and 1935 it supplies power to around 25 million people.

We continue North making another stop at the Valley of Fires, State Park. An impressive array of red rock formations in the middle of the desert.

We find our cosy little AirBNB a couple of hours further along the I-15 at a village called Scenic, just outside of Mesquith (Arizona)

2 week road trip in New Zealand’s North Island

Day 14 - Raglan and Pirongia

We say goodbye to our exceptional hosts in Whakamaru and make our way over to the west coast checking out the world famous surfing beach of Raglan (know for its long breaks and black sand) along with a 55m waterfall along the way.

Jack and I got sick of Dan pretending to be Dan Riccardo through all the bends, twists and turns along the way so we ended up bunking down in a barn in a little place called Pirongia. Followed by some good grub at the local pub.

2 week road trip in New Zealand’s North Island

Day 13 - Whakamaru

Our planned contingency day. Dan headed out and cycled a 20km section of the Waikato River trail

The entire designated mountain bike trail is 105km in length and starts near Lake Karapiro dam and generally follows the mighty Waikato River (NZ longest river) to Atiamuri dam. Most people allow a couple of days to ride the entire length.

Our last night in Waikato really enjoyed our stay at Terry and Marlese AirBNB.

2 week road trip in New Zealand’s North Island

Day 12 - Tongariro National Park

Day trip to Tongariro National Park with a plan to do a trek through the park. However this plan soon changed due to the inclement weather and although we could see the bases of the three active volcanoes that dominate the landscape of the central north island - Mt Tongariro (1967m) Mt Ngauruhoe (2287m) and Mt Ruapehu (2797m) the peaks were shrouded in heavy cloud.

We decided to drive up Tukino Access Road on eastern side of the park (a tip given to us by our friendly host back in Kaiwaka). Upon coming to the end of the 2wd capability we were met by a howling wind, to strong for a baby to withstand so Dan headed up solo to see more cloud.

2 week road trip in New Zealand’s North Island

Day 11 - Taupo

Day trip to Orakei Korako (also known as the hidden valley) which is still New Zealand’s largest geyser field and one of the country’s must see natural attractions.

Venture onto Taupo and see the Huka falls which are a set of waterfalls on the Waikato river that drains Lake Taupo. A few hundred metres upstream from the Huka falls the Waikato river narrows from approximately 100 metres across into a canyon only 15 metres across pouring 220000 litres per second through the canyon.

2 week road trip in New Zealand’s North Island

Day 10 - Rotorua

About an hour drive to the north we venture into Rotorua. Home of the well renowned smell of rotten eggs and base for many adventurers and backpackers alike.

We explored Kuria Park to get a sense of what this was all about. Nice walk around to see the mud bubbling from the pits....and at no cost.

We also explored the Redwood forest with 72m trees and tree top walk before retiring to our home.
