Somehow, 5 days in Moab just isn’t enough to see this amazing area.  And you better make sure you have a large capacity memory card for your camera since there is an amazing picture every time you turn around.   Here are just a few of them.

At Arches, we visited Delicate Arch, subject of a separate post.  Then we did an evening/sunset view at Two Windows.  It is just amazing how the setting sun colors the cliffs!  And yes, it really does get that red.

At Canyonlands, we hiked up Upheaval Dome, a very unusual formation.  It is still unknown what caused the unique formation:  an eruption? a meteor strike?  In any case, a wonderful view.  And at Mesa Arch we caught the sunlight shining under the arch, very unusual.  Finally, a short walk to Grand View point gave some amazing views.

The sun is starting to color the rocks.  And the moon is up…. and I’m avoiding any other comments.

Yes, it really is that bright red!
