North America Wonderland of Nature Part 3
Filed under Blog · Tagged: America, nature, North, Part, Wonderland
Just outside the town of Page in the state of Arizona, a narrow and unimpressive entrance leads into the mysterious world of Antelope Canyon. The Antelope Creek River has over the course of thousands of years cut a fascinating canyon into the red sandstone and created a natural work of art, a true celebration of form and color, unearthly and of amazing beauty. The Grand Staircase has five different vegetation zones and thus boasts a remarkable variety of indigenous trees and plants. It is divided into three vast areas, the Grand Staircase, the Kaiparowits Plateau and the Escalante Canyons. Geographically, Death Valley is a truly remarkable national park, and Badwater is the deepest point in the entire western hemisphere. The bizarre landscape of the mysterious Devil’s Cornfield really does seem to have been scorched by the heat of another planet. But it is actually the relatively high salt content of the terrain that is responsible for its strange and desolate landscape. The Capitol Reef National Park is a mighty section of the earth’s crust that extends for around 160 kilometres. Today, the numerous sediments that are contained within the stone strata are visible as long, colourful ribbons and strips within the rocks of this region. At Yosemite Falls steep rocks tower up more than seven hundred meters and it is the park’s highest and most impressive waterfall. The surrounding forests are also attractive but the most famous sight of the region are the nine waterfalls of …
JCB Backhoe Across America Day 16
The massive city of Phoenix behind us, we made our way to the quaint old west town of Wickenburg, where they still proudly advertise both the “jail” and the “hanging” tree. By an informal poll over dinner, the crew all agreed, were we to have to choose, we’d opt for the former.
JCB Backhoe Across America Day 17
From Wickenburg, AZ to Twentynine Palms, CA, the desert is already heating up in mid-April. We saw 95 degrees today, and probably the longest single climb of the trip as we approached Joshua Tree National Park. Even with the air conditioner running in the cab, the JCB 3CX didn’t miss a beat on this demanding day of 222 miles.

Words and Music by Rex Allen, Jr.
I love you, Arizona;
Your mountains, deserts and streams;
The rise of Dos Cabezas
And the outlaws I see in my dreams;
I love you Arizona,
Superstitions and all;
The warmth you give at sunrise;
Your sunsets put music in us all.
Oo, Arizona;
You’re the magic in me;
Oo, Arizona,
You’re the life-blood of me;
I love you Arizona;
Desert dust on the wind;
The sage and cactus are blooming,
And the smell of the rain on your skin.
Oo, Arizona;
You’re the magic in me;
Oo, Arizona,
You’re the life-blood of me.
