Day Three – Moab, Utah

Arches National Park - A beautiful morning hike into Delicate Arch (of Utah license plate fame). And a noon hike in the shade of the Fiery Furnace where met two new potential campers and their Park Ranger Dad from all the way from Houston, Texas.

They tagged along for a new route out of the maze. We look forward to meeting up with them in the future. 

The afternoon was spent lazily floating on Ken’s Lake.

Day Four – Canyonlands NP

Island in the Sky – First stop the pine trees from the boreal forests of Canada (the only place you’ll find them in the lower 48 states) that hitched a ride on a glacier and found a new home on a ledge near a spring in the middle of the desert.

A hike out to the White Rim Overlook for views of the river 2100 feet below. No day would be complete without an inner tube float down the Colorado River.
