Williams, AZ to Cedar City, Utah
We re just south of Cedar City,UT and it is HOT-HOT-HOT-drove much of the day with temps. ranging from 83 (lowest) to 110 degrees while we drove through Los Vegas. We left Williams, AZ and drove west on I-40 into Nevada. Had wanted to see Hoover Dam, but construction near the dam prevented any vehicles hauling trailers from taking that route so we had to go farther west, then north in Nevada on US 95 into Vegas. We had climbed many steep grades, and the vehicle, while working ok, was complaining-so we found a shopping plaza(what else?) in Henderson and had our lunch in the camper then went into a Wal Mart for a few necessary items while we gave the car a rest. An hour later on the road again heading NE on I-15-the most fantastic scenery-then into the NW corner of AZ again before heading into Utah! We came upon a sign that indicated there were 7% grades ahead and we weren't sure if it was up or down but we were hoping for down. However, ahead of us were some pretty imposing mountains, but when we got there it was down for 11 miles-the most incredible scenery-will include some photos if I can. Today we've seen mountains of almost every color you can imagine-red, gray, green, brown, sand colored and where we are now is Red Ledge Campground.
