Over the 4th of July weekend we decided to make a trip to one of our favorite places...MOAB! Oh how i love this place. There is so much to see and the scenery is always so pretty.
We got there on Saturday afternoon, got checked into our hotel and headed into Arches. We have been there before but we still wanted to drive through and stop at some of our favortie places. We kind of lucked out this time because it wasn't as crowded this time as it was before, so there wasn't huge crowds and no crazy out-of-state drivers. :)
Delicate Arch--my favorite to see in Arches.
Sunday was an all together different day with lots to see. We drove into Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point. I have been to Dead Horse Point before with my mom several years ago, but Bethie hasn't seen it before so we drove in so she was able to. I love the views here, it is breathtaking with alot of different layers in the rock. If you have never heard the story behind Dead Horse Point, you should look it up and read about it.
After Dead Horse Point we headed into Canyonlands. I've never been here so i was kind of excited to see it. Unfortunately it was alot of driving, with only a few things to see. You couldn't drive all the way through it. there were different entrances to the park which required more driving. It seems like if you have a 4-wheel drive or 4-wheelers you would be able to see alot more. Sad to say it was kind of a let down for me and we didn't want to drive further to see other areas of the park. i'm still glad i was able to see it though.
Sunday night we just hung out at the pool and went shopping in downtown Moab. We were looking forward to the next day when we were going to Goblin Valley.
Monday morning we grabbed a good breakfast before getting on the road. Last time we went to goblin valley it was raining so hard we were not able to go down near the lil' goblins, so we were excited ths time cause the weather was fantastic.
NOTE TO SELF: READ THE MAP BEFORE YOU GET ON THE ROAD SO YOU DON'T MISS YOUR EXIT!
-no goblin valley this time around- :(
ah well........gives us another reason to go back! :)
we had a blast!
I LOVE MOAB!!
enjoy the slideshow. :)
