Here's a few pictures of our trip to Canyonlands and Arches near Moab, Utah. There are two national parks only a few miles apart. The weather was absolutely beautiful. A light jacket was plenty and there was sunshine to make good photos!
These rocks are called the Three Penguins. Later we saw people climbing up these rocks.
You can't see the whole thing, but these rocks looked like Park Avenue in New York City. It was amazing.
This is Landscape Arch, one of the two most famous arches in the Park. In the 1990's a chunk fell out of the arch, so now you can't go up close and look at it. Some guy got a picture of it falling!!
It had been quite windy the day before, so all the previous footprints had blown in with sand. The Parks weren't very busy, so it was an ideal time to go.
This is the trail to Delicate Arch - a mile and a half - mostly uphill. You will see the little stone piles - these marked the trail, as it isn't like hiking in a forest where the path is worn. Once you got to one stone pile you could see the next one. Delicate Arch is a famous Utah symbol and is well worth the hike.
Here's Tim in Canyonlands - every bit as majestic as the Grand Canyon.
You must go there sometime. It's too good to miss!
