UTAH: Part 5 - Canyonlands National Park

Saturday, we visited Canyonlands National Park which has a very different perspective than Arches NP. You are up high on flat ground looking down into the Green River and Colorado River Canyons. We started the day at Mesa Arch at sunrise along with 40 other photographers. The morning sun bounces of the canyon wall and lights the arch from the underside with the most wonderful orange glow. It was stunning! We did a short but steep hike to one overlook, but most of the places we shot you drive to and take a short walk.

We finished the day at nearby Dead Horse State park overlook for sunset. Wow, what a view. Another fantastic day of photographing and enjoying the wide open spaces of UTAH.


Tomorrow we leave Moab and head south to Monument Valley on the boarder of Utah and Arizona. Should be fun!
