Sept. 12th

Hi everyone!!  Back to the Canyonlands for our last day. 

We are going to see the Island in the Sky, Mesa Arch, the Grand View Point Overlook and the Green River Overlook.

We hiked around the top to the Overlook.  We could see the Needle district to the left, the Maze District to the very far right and Glen Canyon National Monument to the west.   Wasn’t that just Grand.

On the west south side of the river is the Maze District.

Then, we went to see the Whale.  Our hike took us to the top of the whale to view the Island in the Sky. The Whale is a long high white formation of rocks with rocks forming the spout. We climbed that whale.

Our hike was climbing a very steep incline of rock.  We could have tumbled down the steep descent, however, neither one of us died today.  Quite a rewarding day for us.  We stood on top of the Whale and saw beautiful rock formations.

On we go to see the Mesa Arch.   By this time we have hiked approximately 3 miles.  Definitely worth another mile to see this.

We had a great day, beautiful weather and scenery. 

This is for the kids.
