March 26th We drove 100 miles to Bluff, Utah which is in the region of 4 corners where the states of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona meet. In Bluff we visited and stayed with Holly's sister, Willie and her husband, Red. In the afternoon they led us on a hike up onto the bluff overlooking their home.

March 27th Today Holly’s sister, Willie drove us around Bluff and then we went for a hike along the San Juan River. There are many petroglyphs on the rock walls. On this hike we spotted a snake about 6 feet long on the trail; it was a gopher snake. I also saw some people on the boat ramp rigging up for a float down the San Juan River, which looked like a lovely thing to do.
March 28th Willie drove us 60 miles into Cortez which is in Colorado. Cortez has one of the best visitor's centers that we have seen. They had lots of information about Colorado which we enjoyed looking through.
March 29th Today we had a day of relaxation in Bluff catching up on things that we have been neglecting for awhile.
March 30th A day of day tripping from Bluff --we drove a 120 mile loop today. We drove thru “The Valley of the Gods” which is very similar to the more visited Monument Valley. We then drove to a park known as Gooseneck Park which overlooks several goose necks on the San Juan River. Then drove up a hill known as Moki Dugway which has 10% grade full of hairpin bends on a gravel road; the drive was a little intimidating. The next park we visited was Natural Bridges Park. Then we drove back to Bluff via Blanding, a full day of enjoying some of the sites near Bluff.
