I spent a week in the Four Corners region driving and walking around some of the most widely varied territory in the US. And I enjoyed some pretty good food while doing it. I started out by arriving at the Grand Canyon too late for the sun to be right for photos, so I was a bit miffed about my own planning. But it was the Grand Canyon so it wasn’t all that bad.
