Where Are We Today
(click on pic to enlarge)
Canyonlands
National Park
Today
we went thru Canyonlands National Park and once again were blown away by the
natural beauty of the area. There are many different Overlook areas throughout
the park along with trail heads if you are into hiking.
We stopped at many of the look-outs to take in
the spectacular views. The Shafer Trail Overlook was a short walk to see into
the canyon and the Dome Rock was about a 1/2 mile hike to see it.
At
the whale rock, we only walked part way to it, as it was a steeper climb then
we wanted. We also took in the Green River Overlook and the Grand View Point
Overlook.
This
park was different than the Arches Park but beautiful in its own way. By the
way, the roads thru both of these parks
and the surrounding area of Moab, I would rate as a 10 out of 10, and in the
parks I would add...FUN, FUN, FUN to drive.
As
with yesterday, there is picture overload, so once again, if you skip thru
them, I'll understand.
We
will be on the move tomorrow, leaving this beautiful area, but hope to come
back again, it has become a high on our list as one of the favorites.
Hope
you had a great day whatever you were doing, until the next time, take care and
be safe. Feel free to leave a comment.

Two days of great pictures of two wonderful National Parks. Each beautiful in their own way. Thank you for sharing. Continued safe travels.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. They are both beautiful parks.
DeletePics are incredible! Again, love the rock formations. Second pic in is stunning. Also the Vista view with photographer's shadow in front left corner...adding a personal touch to the photo. Utah is definitely a state for further exploration! MB
ReplyDeleteThanks MB. We Will need to come back here for sure.
DeleteSo nice that you are getting to explore some of those area and the scenery is absolutely awesome, great photos but they don't do it justice
ReplyDeleteThanks George. Now on to new areas.
DeleteIt is amazing that water and wind carved all these wonderful monoliths. And I wonder what the original residents thought of the place. I'm sure they were astounded also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great photos.
