Arches and Canyonlands National Parks

For a hot, mostly lifeless desert, southern Utah has some pretty amazing things to see. We went to Arches National Park back in 2006 and it was well worth seeing again. The heat prevented us from taking too many hikes this time, but we did do the iconic Delicate Arch hike and saw some of the other monuments that were a little closer to the road. On a different day, we drove up to Canyonlands National Park, where I'd never been before. We drove around the Island in the Sky and checked out the amazing views of the landscape...

Just making sure it doesn't fall while we're here...



After I got back to work, the rotating desktop background on my computer came up with a photo of Mesa Arch (as seen here). It made it only slightly more depressing to be back sitting at a desk...
