I know I've been posting only about our destinations so far, but today's drive from Gallup to Phoenix was so beautiful we had to take pictures. Instead of going the direct way on the main interstate highway, we took a slightly less direct route that went through the Pueblo of Zuni in New Mexico, the Fort Apache Reservation in Arizona, the Tonto National Forest, and lots of gorgeous scenery in between.
The Zuni Pueblo itself is also very picturesque - lots of adobe houses and
hornos - but no photos are allowed without a permit.

A lot of the scenery seemed quite similar to Colorado, where we've spent a decent amount of time, but the redness of the rocks and the presence of cacti made it clear we were in the Southwest.

We mostly took pictures as we drove, but we did pull over once to stretch, and for Ben to climb on things.
Now we are in Phoenix, and there are cacti everywhere, including this giant one in our friend's yard:
Now we are here and about to have dinner, and we have all day tomorrow to explore!
