Ironically we came to this park at sunrise!
And of course, discovered that our car's heater wasn't working at 35 degrees!
North and east of Flagstaff, AZ.

Shiprock National Natural Landmark (and Dike) →
Unique geologic formations.
Drone video near sunset.
--------------------------------------
• This was my first drone. I can't even remember what brand it was, but it didn't have a gimbal on the camera, hence the erratic motion on the videos.
• These videos inspired me to upgrade to the drones that I have now.
This was a very long day.
• We drove 352 miles between sunrise and sunset, but now we had to get back to our hotel in Flagstaff.
• We went south on US-491 to Gallup, NM, then I-40 to Flagstaff, AZ, another 259 miles, all in the dark. Another 4 hours of driving.
• It made for a very nice, but a very long day. The grand total for the day was 611 miles covered in roughly 16 hours!
