{on my list} The Wave

My goodness gracious sakes alive if I don't make it through 2012 without hiking the wave then heaven help me. Up north through Navajo country there exists some of the most beautiful and unique country. The particular hike that I would like to do is limited to only 20 hikers a day.

If you are planning a trip to Arizona may I first suggest that going out of your way to visit the less traveled northern rim of The Grand Canyon is well worth the extra time. Then you could really up the stock of your trip and venture into southern Utah which even hosts more areas that were better than the last.

Also I have always been partial to the old school Native American craft...probably due to the fact that I have pretty much lived my whole life in this region. They produced some of the most beautiful jewelry, rugs and blankets. I am loving the old black and white photos of Native Americans.

Here is a site to get familiar with some of the scenic parts of the Navajo Nation.

Happy Friday friends! We will actually be traveling through some of the above mentioned country tomorrow. What are you up to?
