Canyonlands - Island in the sky

Today's National Park was Canyonlands. It's huge and the area I was in was called Island in the sky! It's a big mesa linked only by a small 'neck' otherwise it would be an 'island'.

Again, the views were amazing. 🙄
Did a number of short hikes to viewpoints or on things like Whale Rock, or Aztec butte (no Aztecs and no butts) There was an arch, a crater they think might have been caused by a meteorite, an old puebloan granary, and the location where the Thelma and Louise film finished (technically in Dead Horse Point State Park).

It was a busy day and it was nice to get some hiking done. I also learnt that the dirt is alive!Read more
