We wake up to a beautiful morning and eat our breakfast with views of Mesa Verde National Park through the window.
Then we pack up and take off for Canyonlands National Park. On the way we stop at Newspaper Rock State Park to have a lunch and look at the petroglyphs.
This park is back in the 'boonies'. The 50 mile road back to the park has sections where cattle roam free; that is, no fences between the cattle and the road.
We drive through the park, stopping frequently and take a few short hikes.
We leave Canyonlands and head to Moab, Utah.
On the way we pass Wilson's Arch. Joe insists that we climb up to the arch, so he and Jere climb to the top while I stop 2/3 of the way up to take pics. I use the 'I need stay down here to take pictures' whenever I feel lazy :-)
We find a campground for the night, but they can only give us one night since they're booked full for tomorrow night. We are surprised to find that the Moab campgrounds are all fairly full. The campground owner says she's also baffled as to why the Moab campgrounds are so full.
