Canyonlands National Park, in Moab, Utah

Canyonlands Nat'l Park is divided into three sections: Island in the Sky, The Maze and the Needles area. We went to the Island in the Sky area, outside of Moab.

The picture below is of Upheaval Crater. There are several theories as to how this crater got here. One is that millions of years ago a meteor crashed into the plateau.




This area is in the heart of the Colorado Plateau. The Green and Colorado rivers helped carve these canyons.





The picture below is of Mesa Arch. This was an easy one mile hike to see. It was worth the time to see this one accessible arch within the parks overlook areas.


See ya down the road !
