Arches and Canyonlands National Parks
Today was an awesome day of seeing nature at its finest. I got up early and headed west towards Arches National Park in Moab, Utah. West of about Fruita, Colorado it gets pretty desolate and more so as you cross into Utah. There once again were no towns and no rest stops even on the interstate. There was one pit toilet stop on the interstate which I was pretty glad to see after my morning coffee :-) It was about a 120 Mile drive and the scenery became more desolate and then more dramatic as I neared the national parks. There was a sign along the road that said watch for eagles on roadway. I didn't see any. I had been worried about getting into Arches National Park because of the crush of people it's been experiencing lately. It's a fairly small National Park and they've been closing the gates and not letting any more visitors in after about 9:00 a.m. because the line forms all the way out to the highway. I was very lucky that I had only one car ...
