That is so beautiful, can't wait until I retire to see that part of the world. That last picture looks like it should be on a postcard.

God's country to be sure. The Monument Valley/Kayenta area is one place I'd want runflats for sure.

That is a beautiful part of the country. Words and pictures can not do it justice. A friend and I rode through the area on a trip and enjoyed every minute of it.

the Moab area near the above, in s-e Utah, is similarly beautiful...Arches Nat'l. Park, Canyon Nat'l. Park (?), etc.
Also stunning mountain & desert scenery driving there/back from Salt Lake City...

and I agree--one definitely wants run flats out there !

...thx for sharing your pics !
