National Parks Tour - Part V

As promised, Part V takes us through Canyonlands as the sun set on our third day of adventuring around Utah.
Looking towards the Colorado River with a Jeep trail running across the canyon floor.
Looking under Mesa Arch...
...zoomed in a little bit...
...in sepia...
...and with a little more color.
A panoramic, but you still don't get a feel for...

...the shear drop off on the other side.

A view of the arch from the other side.
Grand View Point Overlook where the Green and Colorado Rivers meet.
Upheaval Dome - click on it for a better view of the grey sandstone in the middle that appears to have dropped out of the sky and landed in the middle of a crater.
A panoramic looking towards the Green River...
...zoomed in and in sepia.
Sunset from the Green River Overlook...
...continued...
...after moving to a different spot...
...for an excellent view of the pinks and blues as the sun set on Canyonlands, Part V of our trip. But before heading back, we would make one more trip into Arches to run around in the Fiery Furnace! Check back soon for the final blog that will close out this spectacular weekend.
