Howdy, Howdy! Was another beautiful day in Utah. I started my day by driving to my favorite place in the state, Dead Horse Point. That would be the Colorado River running through the canyon in the picture above. I will be jet boating down there later in the day. Dead Horse Point is very near the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park. That is where I went next. Below is Shafer Canyon in Canyonlands NP. Below is Grand View also in the park. Below you can see some desert plants in front of Grand View. I had just enough time to grab a quick lunch back in Moab before starting my 4-hour jet boat trip on the Colorado River. Below is an arch we saw in the canyon wall along the river. In the middle of the trip we got off the boat and took a little hike. Two hours into the boat trip we made it down to Dead Horse Point. This is the same place as the top picture but from the river level. Below is a close-up of where the overlook is at Dead Horse Point. The river trip was great fun and very scenic. Below is Canyonlands National Park, the Needles district from the river. This is the point we turned around and headed back the same way we came. I went back to Dead Horse Point after the cruise. When I was there this morning the sun was in the way looking east so I went back for a second look as the sun was beginning to set. You're probably tired of looking at rock now so I'll only enclose one more picture, also from Dead Horse Point. More adventures to come, so stay tuned. Tim |
