CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK - Sept. 12, 2008

Today we toured the highlights of Canyonlands National Park. Although only a few miles from Arches NP, it is entirely different.


We hiked to Mesa Arch -


Looking through Mesa Arch, we were able to see the profile of the Washer Woman.
If you look carefully at the lefthand formation, it looks like a woman doing her wash.

Of course a few had to walk onto the arch....


and then a few more....


and a few more.


As we followed the path back to our cars, we were frequently asked where we got our shirts!!

After a nice picnic lunch, some of us drove to Dead Horse State Park for views of some more rocks.





And then it was time for another off road drive. Some of us drove the
7 mile canyon road (a shortcut?) back to Moab.


We weren't quite sure if we would make it under the rock.
It began to look a little better - but that's the Greenwood's Jeep - we were in the Cohen's Hummer!


But we both made it with no scratches!
