Canyonlands National Park


Today we drove to Canyonlands National Park.  It was a scenic 35 mile drive to get to the park entrance from Moab, Utah.  We had Eva with us today so we knew there would be no hiking allowed in the park.  National parks are not dog friendly so we were limited in what we could see.



If we had a 4x4 vehicle it would have been fun to drive this dirt road down into the canyon.

The Green River has cut this channel.



Zoomed down onto the valley floor the erosion has carved another canyon.
Panorama of the valley floor.
It was an overcast day so the whole canyon was not showing it's best colors today.  Of the "5 big national parks" we have visited in Utah, Canyonlands was at the bottom of our list. We'll have to try it in a different season.


Life is good.... Eva had a great car ride.... she's happy.

Another desert flower.
