First stop on our agenda today, Arches National Park. What great scenery. We saw Balanced Rock, Park Avenue, the Three gossips, the Lamb Rock, North and South window and the Turret, Delicate Arch and numerous other landmarks in the park. We took several hikes and got a lot of exercise in for the day.
We then drove to Dead Horse Point State Park. There is a very scenic overlook there in the Canyonlands. You can see the Colorado River from there, looks like a green snake, meandering through the canyon with twists and turns everywhere. We had lunch there in the picnic area.
We then drove to Canyononlands National Park, the Island In The Sky area. More great scenery. My favorite was the Mesa Arch, which I hiked to see.
We drove to Monticello to camp for the night because it was at 7000 feet elevation and would be a lot cooler than it was last night in Moab. That is one thing we have learned on this trip - elevation is everything.
