Today is the fist time in 22 days that the temp did not reach 100* It was overcast and only got to low 90's. The canyonlands is a huge park where the Green river and the Colorado river comes together.
This is the road down into the canyon, only 4 wheel, high clearance vehicles are allowed and it takes two days to cross.
A nice easy 1/2 mile hike gets us to this arch.Behind the arch the canyon floor is 2200 feet straight down.
This is looking down into the canyon at a dome of white rock that rises several hundred feet from the floor. The hike to get to this point was up hill about 5/8 mile.
The Green river on its way to meet the Colorado. The place where the two rivers meet is at a different part of the park and a long difficult hike so we decided to pass. Many of the pictures have a blue haze, it is mostly smoke from the forest fires burning in Colorado and Utah.
A huge crack across the bottom lands, look closely and you can see the road.
