2010 Fall Trip--10/21 Canyonlands National Park

In addition to Arches National Park there are several other national or state parks close to Moab.
We chose for our last day the Islands In The Sky section of Canyonlands National Park. I'd never heard of this park until a few months ago, but we learned that it was set aside as a park back in the 60's. It's about 35 miles from Moab and was much less crowded. We may have saved the best for last. All I can say is WOW!! We will remember this trip for a long, long time.
