Today we visited Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and studio.

Following the visit, we left for Flagstaff. This was the most difficult drive we have had on our trip. The elevation gains with our six-cylinder Explorer slowed us to about 35 mph on some of the uphill ascents. The downhill descents were equally exciting with a two ton trailer behind us. As the elevation rose, the temperatures lowered. Anyway, we made it to the KOA campground. It is located about 30 miles west of Flagstaff. The campground is about an hour drive from the Grand Canyon and we will make some day trips there. Last night, is was so cool (in the 40's) we turned on the heat and broke out the blankets.
