Utah, part 2

In early September we returned to Utah to finish the “Mighty Five,” Utah’s five national parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands. We visited three of them in May and caught the last two at the end of the summer. Over the summer Utah’s high temps top 100 deg. F, so we found other things to do in the meantime😄. Canyonlands and Arches are close together, so we visited both parks in one day, starting early and ending late. We took four hikes, totaling 7.5 miles. This was an awesome day!

Tried to get a selfie with the arch in the background, lol.

COLORADO NATIONAL MONUMENT

On the way from Utah desert boondocking to Colorado, we stopped by the Colorado National Monument.

Balanced rock – we’ve seen a lot of these out west. It’s true what you see in the cartoons, lol!
