Canyonlands National Park




Canyonlands National Park is a minature Grand Canyon and Arches National Park rolled into one. Check out the arch above. Click on it and note the snow covered La Sal mountains in the background. They're over 35 miles away. Yes, the air here is clear and smog free. Everything here is huge. It's so big that you can't take meaningful pictures of it but I tried. I'm including a few photos here or if interested you can link to our albums from our home page or use this link to albums this time .


Note the trail in the photo above. It runs along the cliff with switchbacks to the valley below. It's part of the Shaffer trail that leads across the valley back to Moab UT.



Click on the image to see it in a larger format. Like I said, things here are so big it's not easy to take it all in. If you look closely, you'll see the Shaffer trail heading across the valey floor.
