Today I drove from Kanab to Ely, NV. The first stop was at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary just outside of Kanab. If you are ever there, I highly recommend taking a couple of hours for the tour.

Next I drove across the Markagunt Plateau where I saw the lava flows that cap it.

Also, from the crest of the Markagunt, I could see the pinnacles and cliffs of Zion off in the distance.

The next task was to cross the Basin and Range province. Along the way I came across a dried playa lake bed.

I continued into Nevada and stopped at Great Basin National Park.
