Arches/Canyonlands National Parks
While in Moab, Utah-we stayed at a campsite right next to the Colorado River surrounded by red canyons. The evening of June 30, we went to Arches National Park. We took a short hike to Delicate Arch to view the arch at sunset. I did not realize that the arch would not be facing in the direction of the sunset- it was like look at the arch, turn around and oh there is the sunset. Still it was breathtaking.
The spec in the middle of the arch that's me.

The next day on July 1st we went to Canyonlands National Park that was about an hour drive through the desert just to get to the park off the main road! The park was beautiful of course and had many different types of geological features like the needles.

We did not get to see much of the park though- our original hike was cancelled due to the fact part of it was underwater. We instead took a short drive around the park to a few lookout points. When I go back out West I would definitely want to explore this park more.

That night on July 1st-we had a final dinner at an authentic restaurant- La Hacienda- we also got a chance to walk around downtown Moab, Utah which was a very charming town with little shops and cafes. I love walkable towns with local flavor!
