Canyonlands

We started off early the next day and headed into Canyonlands National Park to see what there was to see.  In all of my times to Moab, I had never gone there so I was excited to see what it was all about. There are several entrances from different parts of the state, but we explored the North entrance.

There was some pretty stunning scenery:

My favorite part was the short hike to another arch, Mesa Arch, where we had some fun taking some pretty cool pictures with the sun shining down on us.

The kids' favorite park was the hike to and climbing and conquering Whale Rock.

And to put it in Zaric's words once they all reached the top of it's head, "In your face Whale Rock!" And here's the amazing view from the top of Whale Rock.

It was a short-sweet drive around the to lookout spots and I'm glad we went this one time. Maybe next time, we'll go explore the South region and see what there is to see there.

Then we headed back to Price for a late lunch and a Bday party for my nephew Jaxson, then it was back in the truck to come home so we could enjoy our last day of the long weekend relaxing and getting chores done around the house to gear up for the week.

Hope you also took advantage of the long weekend to do something fun!
