The summer of 2021 is a great time to travel across these Old West highways.
The West is a grand place to travel, and its many highways and back-country roads are a great way to enjoy its natural wonders, monuments and parks, historic towns and destination getaways.

By sitting at these sites and being still for only a short period of time, one can actually feel these vortexes of dusty wind swirling around their entire selves, and it is no wonder that by tweaking ones perception of the occurrence, notions of other dimensions might arise. But where did the term vortex first become associated with the famous geological sites of Arizona?
