Wednesday, September 11 (continued from yesterday) - From Dead Horse Point State Park, we drove down the the road to Canyonlands National Park. The American the Beautiful pass was accepted here, so the $10 entrance fee was waved. What an amazing government program. Can't believe it hasn't been eliminated yet!
When we were here a few days ago, it was raining. Today, we drove the Island in the Sky road around the Park. We continued our hiking marathon by doing the short hikes to many beautiful sites. First stop the Grand Point Overlook. There is a one mile walk to the rim.
Buck Canyon Overlook.
Candlestick Tower Overlook
Green River Overlook…Elevation 6000 ft..
The next awesome site was about a mile round trip. Don't miss it!
That was enough hiking for one day!
We have several more hikes and a zillion more pictures to take, so check back and see what good weather and awesome scenery we will report on!
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y'all back real soon. Have a great day!
great pictures of another beautiful place we have yet to visit!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures you capture continue to e stunning. Particularly love the Mesa Arch. We'll have to do that the next time we go.

ReplyDeleteAnother amazing header photo! And another great adventure to witness more beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe Mesa Arch is such a great natural picture frame. I was disappointed that the main arch is on the back and there is no way to around to see it.
Beautiful shot you took through the arch.
Just another day in Paradise:)

Your pics are spectacular - what a great place to visit.
Great pictures. One day we may have our energy back and do this.
ReplyDeleteThat header shot looks like an oil painting.
ReplyDeletePerfect header picture. I am missing some of your blogs about this area that I really want to see. Hope we get a camping site with internet soon so I can really catch up. Hate having to hurry when I'm at the library. Enjoyed the pictures from today anyway.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen of Canyonland. So glad the rains subsided and you were able to get out on the trails in this amazing place.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are having a ball! The photos are breathtaking. So pleased that it stopped raining for you.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! We camped along the Colorado River back in the 1990s! Thanks for sharing your awesome photos! Felt Bea and I were there with you! We got our drinking water out of a rock when we did our Boomerangs there! Cant wait to see your next treck! Hugz!
ReplyDeleteWe agree about Mesa Arch, we got a picture through the arch with snow capped mountains in the distance. We used it on our recent 4th anniversary blog post.
