Canyonlands National Park

(The Needles and Island in the Sky)

Arches National Park and Moab Area

Taking a break along the trail.

The last part of the trail with the Island in the Sky in the background.

The Needles is quite an impressive place. These photos do NOTHING to show how beautiful, intricate, and complex (maze-like) the area is. You'll just have to see for yourself.

This is Newspaper Rock on the way out of the Needles District. Tons of pictographs from various times and indians. It was my birthday so we hit Moab for a night out and camped along the Colorado River on BLM land.

We then went to Arches to do the "Archathon" and see most everything in a few hours before heading to Island In the Sky. This is the Park Avenue Trail.

Landscape Arch.
