Because of our intentional self-distancing, much of the middle of our trip cross country has been spent in the car driving and looking out the window at all the scenery passing by. After Kansas we headed into Colorado, Utah, and Arizona, and back into Utah. Our route took us through so many different types of land formations that every turn in the road brought something new and different. Below are some of the best pictures I could take from our car windows.

There are many more photos I could include, but you get the idea. It is an other-worldly place, one where all the politics and problems of the lives we’ve left behind have disappeared, your mind can wander in all kinds of directions. There is a great peace about land that might be considered wilderness by some, but for me is a land of great opportunity for the imagination. There is no place on earth like it, and it’s well worth driving across the country to see.
