After arriving home from South America, my itchy feet got the best to me and I headed out on a solo woman road trip, again. Travelling in the off season is the way to do it. I chose the frigid month of February, but that wasn't going to stop me. Less crowds and seeing the landscape covered in white dreamy snow left places and sights burning with a different feel.
I headed from Moab, Utah first to Hovenweep National Monument. A little known place and out of the way treasure. At one time, over 2,500 people lived here between 1200-1300 A.D. Towers are standing along the cliff edge. The trail was a bit icy and snowy but I literally was the only one visiting. The silence and magic of canyon country speaks words upon words to your imagination of the people that once lived here.
Next stop was heading through the actual "4 corners" where New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, and Colorado meet. Even though there is a "monument" there, it was closed. Lonely snow covered highways were the norm. After Utah I headed towards New Mexico.
