Grand Junction, CO-Arches National Park- Canyonlands National Park- Dead Horse Point State Park- Monticello, UT
After the trimming of the day, everyone's spirit much better 7:50 departure, when the sun has been very enthusiastic.
We rest one day yesterday. Today we are heading to Arches National Park & Canyonlands National Park.
Arches National Park contains the world's largest concentration of natural stone arches. This National Park is a red, arid desert, punctuated with oddly eroded sandstone forms such as fins, pinnacles, spires, balanced rocks, and arches. The 73,000-acre region has over 2,000 of these "miracles of nature."
Around 12:15pm, Rachel and I starting climb to see Delicate Arch, 3 miles each way, we spent two hours climbing without covering and temperature around 105 F, we made it.
After return to parking place, I decide take the shortcut (unpaved road) to next destination Canyonlands National Park
The Green and Colorado rivers separate Canyonlands into three land districts in addition to the Horseshoe Canyon detached unit. Each destination within Canyonlands offers different opportunities for sightseeing and exploration.
We visited Island in the Sky hundreds of canyon seems to be at the foot of "endless", and then stopped by Deadhorse Point State Park.
