If my brother Tom lived in Castleton, his place might look like this. | | Driving on semi-deserted roads is one of my favorite parts of travel in the Southwest. |

We drove around the Manti-La Sal National Forest, with some great views of Castle Valley. | | It was snowing in the mountains. |

Another view of Castle Valley. | | Along the Columbia River west of 191 again, the late afternoon light was great on the rocks. |

| | In the evening, we took a quick hike to Corona Arch, off highway 279. This little cave looks like it could be a hundred feet high, but it was actually about 8 feet high. |
