It looks like I may be "on call" to report to work for minor administrative stuff during the July 4th week. As a result, I had to scratch my Canadian road trip.
A truncated road trip will take me to the Grand Circle of natural attractions in Arizona and Utah instead. Sights will include Monument Valley, Arches National Park, and Canyonlands National Park. A night in Las Vegas will finish things off.
Granted, I would rather spend my money in Canada than in a reactionary state, and the Canadian Rockies hold my fancy much better, but I can always go up there in the future... I'll find some excuse to fly up to Calgary, either this fall, or next year.
