Phil & I are visiting Bluff, Utah and checking out the sites.  We were invited to come spend the week with the missionaries to see if we would like to return next summer as missionaries.  So today we spent time visiting pioneer historical sites as well as the local area.  We visited Valley of the Gods, went up Moki Dugway and up some steep, close switchbacks called the 'Twist'.  We put on over 200 miles on the truck and went away as far as Hall's Crossing at Lake Powell.



Yesterday, we hiked up San Juan Hill which was the last hill the pioneers struggled over before reaching Bluff.





You can see the dugway up San Juan Hill  in center of picture.
We found Salvation Knoll and hiked up to the lookout - truck is on the road.


Here's a monument at Clay Hill Pass.  It took the pioneers a week to build a road down the east side of the pass.


We even took advantage of a temple excursion with the missionaries to the Monticello Temple.    We're having fun & seeing lots of new sites.
