Dead Horse and Canyonlands

We got a little later start than we had planned on getting but the things that were going on outside out window watching the campers next door were ust too good to miss.  Younger couple with two even younger couples with them and 4 ATVs and all the planning for getting ready for them to go trailing.  Today was a beautiful day for touring, either in a car or in an ATV.  It is amazing that as we drive the mesas to know that under neith all that tundra is solid rock that if a spring sprang up would begin the long treck downhill to carve out canyons.  Of course one would have to wait a few million years for that to happen.   Canyonlands is designed for the hiker in mind.  Many, many trails, some as short as a mile and some many miles long.  And you should see all the people that were hiking.  With Rich's knee we are happy to drive to the overlooks and walk the 200 or 300 feet to the overlook and enjoy it just as much as if we had hiked 10 miles, maybe even more so.  The wind has died down but there is still dust everywhere, especially our mouths. I don't think that we'll even get the dust out of the van, good thing it is of the same color so not as noticeable.

I'm writing this on my iPad and can't add pictures so when we get back from dinner in town I'll plan to add some pictures then.


So no one has read this yet so I'll try and upload the pictures now.
