Honeymoon Day 12 - Canyonlands National Park (22 November, 2005)

^ Mesa Arch looking East at the La Sal Mountains ^

Another late start for a short day at Canyonlands.

We started at Mesa Arch at about 10:15am. It was absolutely beautiful with the clear blue sky and the canyons and mountains through the arch.

From Mesa Arch we drove down to Grand View Point and had a little hike. The view from there is unbelievable. The scale of Canyonlands is quite impressive and the hike from Grand View Point takes you out along the rim of the canyon...which is not for the feint of heart.

We took some time to drive to the Upheaval Dome section of Canyonlands' Island in the Sky district where there's some debate among geologists as to what caused this 1-mile diameter hole in the earth, but to us it was just full of pretty colors.

Again we called it an early day and went back to Moab to get online again to help our transition from vacation to work a little easier. Oh - and Laura wanted to buy an electric tea kettle online.
