more utah!!

We went to Moab, Utah, and toured Canyonlands N.P. - there are three sections, only two of which are easily accessible. The two we visited have pretty distinctive characteristics. We also went to Dead Horse Point State Park - amazing views there! We had visited this area, both parks, previously, and wanted to revisit them since we had the time.

This photo is enroute to the parks.

These next two photos are of the Needles section of Canyonlands. In the Needles section, you're down in the canyons, looking up at the cool rock formations.

In the Needles section, we did a piece on a gravel/dirt road. It wasn't too bad, even with the uphill/downhill and the curves and switchbacks.

This photo is from the Islands in the Sky section of Canyonlands. In this section, you're at the top looking down into the canyons.

And these next two photos are from Dead Horse Point - it's very close to Islands in the Sky, and the similarities are obvious. I actually think the views are better from DHP, altho these photos don't necessarily show that - lighting was getting too rough to get good pictures.

On a trip last weekend we couldn't get to a gas station via a neighboring parking lot, so we decided to use one of Greg's methods....the sidewalk.....what a trip, never laughed so hard....
