DAY 1: CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK

So I took a mini-trip down to Canyonlands- Island in the Sky District, and then went down to Arches for a couple days. In all I hiked around 23 miles in 3 days, saw stunning vistas and was able to see 17 arches in total. Enjoy!



This cow was on the road leading into Canyonlands. She refused to get out of the road
