Wir genehmigen uns wieder ein Marriott-Breakfast und verlassen um zehn Farmigton. Nicht jedoch, ohne vorher noch den \u00f6rtlichen Harley-Davidson-Store\u00a0zu besuchen. Nach kurzer Fahrt sind wir in Aztec und besuchen dort als erstes das Welcome Center. Hier gibt\u2019s die sehr informative Brosch\u00fcre Arches of Aztec. Danach statten wir dem Aztec Ruins National Monument\u00a0einen Besuch ab. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Nicht unsere letzte Ruinensiedlung auf dieser Tour. Jetzt f\u00fchrt uns unser Weg auf die Navajo Dam Road \u00f6stlich der Stadt. Hier gibt es eine Unzahl kleinerer und auch gr\u00f6\u00dferer Arches, die allesamt in kurzen Wanderungen erreichbar sind. Wir besichtigen nacheinander Pillar-, Outcrop-, Alien-, Peephole-, Alligator- und Rooftop Arch. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Teilweise sind die Steinb\u00f6gen sogar von den das Gel\u00e4nde durchziehenden Offroadpisten erkennbar. An der \u00d6lstation zum Outcrop-Arch l\u00e4uft uns einer der selten anzutreffenden Horny Desert Lizards \u00fcber den Weg. \u00a0 \u00a0 Zum Abschlu\u00df wollen wir den Arch Rock im Hart Canyon einen Besuch abstatten. Die sechs Meilen auf dem staubigen Weg ziehen sich in die L\u00e4nge. Nach ewiger Sucherei im Bereich Arch Rock Compressor Station, sind wir fast am Verzweifeln. Obwohl wir theoretisch in direkter N\u00e4he sein m\u00fcssten, finden wir den Arch Rock nicht. Wird wohl langsam Zeit, sich ein kleines GPS zuzulegen. Der Highway 550 bringt uns danach immer am Animas River entlang zur Stateline zwischen New Mexico und Colorado. \u00a0 \u00a0 Wenig sp\u00e4ter kommt Durango in Sichtweite. Der halbe Ort ist in Eisenbahnfieber. Nach kurzer Innenstadtbesichtigung und einem Dennys-Besuch verlassen wir die Stadt auf dem Highway 160 westw\u00e4rts. Wir fahren erstmal durch bis Cortez, um uns ein Zimmer f\u00fcr die kommende Nacht zu besorgen. In den direkt an den Highway grenzenden Mesa Verde Nationalpark\u00a0wollen wir anschlie\u00dfend. Das mit der Zimmersuche hatten wir uns komplett anders vorgestellt. Die Preise sind hier aufgrund der N\u00e4he zum Nationalpark jenseits von gut und b\u00f6se. Selbst in der Econolodge oder im Budget Host wollen sie zwischen 80 und 90 $ haben. Und Rooms sind auch kaum noch frei. Nach einiger erfolgloser Sucherei in den preiswerten Motels der Innenstadt, fahren wir zum Holiday Inn Express am Stadtrand. Hier sind nur noch Smoking Rooms oder eine so genannte Suite zu haben. Mit allen verf\u00fcgbaren Erm\u00e4\u00dfigungen kommen wir auf die noch immer stolze Roomrate von 151 $. Egal! Wir checken ein und fahren sofort zur\u00fcck zum Mesa Verde. \u00a0 \u00a0 Schnell die obligatorischen Fotos am Nationalparkschild und dann ab in den Park. Die Sehensw\u00fcrdigkeiten im S\u00fcdteil des Parks haben wir vor vier Jahren schon einmal ausgiebig erkundet. Damals sind wir an den vielen Viewpoints der Scenic-Route vorbei gebrettert. Das wollen wir heute nachholen. Bei der Einfahrt in den Park sieht es aus, als wenn gleich Weltuntergang sein k\u00f6nnte. Trotzdem k\u00f6nnen wir noch im trockenen die tollen Fernblicke am Park Point und Montezuma Valley Overlook geniessen. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Bei Parkausfahrt k\u00f6nnen wir komplette schillernde Regenb\u00f6gen und merkw\u00fcrdige fluoreszierende Licht-Erscheinungen im Himmel beobachten. So etwas haben wir bisher noch nie gesehen. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Etwa um neun sind wir wieder im Hotel. Diner gibt es aus der Coolbox. Bei Bier-Wein-Gem\u00fctlichkeit schauen wir uns danach auf dem gro\u00dfen Flatscreen TV unsere bisherigen Urlaubsbilder an. Und sind v\u00f6llig aus dem H\u00e4uschen, wie gut die Qualit\u00e4t der TV-Bilder ist. \u00a0 \u00a0 M\u00fcssten wir evtl. mal f\u00fcr zu Hause dr\u00fcber nachdenken \u2026 \u00a0 Gefahrene Meilen \/ Kilometer:\u00a0 191 \/ 308 \u00a0 \u00dcbernachtung:\u00a0 holiday inn express, cortez, colorado $151\u00a0\u00a0 **** \u00a0 &lt; Zur\u00fcck\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Weiter &gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2536,"parent":0,"menu_order":12,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2553","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/welcome-ontour.de\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/welcome-ontour.de\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/welcome-ontour.de\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/welcome-ontour.de\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/welcome-ontour.de\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2553"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/welcome-ontour.de\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2553\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3082,"href":"https:\/\/welcome-ontour.de\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2553\/revisions\/3082"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/welcome-ontour.de\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/welcome-ontour.de\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
