Day 7 - Canyonlands

Today was a slow start... But we got to sleep in, which was a plus.

After a quick breakfast of oatmeal, we took a short drive to the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park.

We stopped at the visitor's center, then headed out to the Grand View Point trailhead.

It was a great hike, and a really easy one too.

"It was only 2 miles."

"It also was not very close to a scary cliff of death!"



But I had to carry them most of the way. (Basically all of the way)

It was an amazing view!



We also had lunch down there.

"The bread was very tasty."

The next hike we did was Whale Rock.

"What do you mean? It doesn't look like a whale at all."

"It's just a big rock."





We saw this adorable tree on the way up.



"We also saw lots of cacti! March ate some."

On top of Whale rock, the view was amazing, but it was SUPER WINDY!

We drove back toward Mesa Arch, which was a short hike.

"We knew that we were gonna get to do it tomorrow, but dad wanted us to check it out anyway."

"This arch seems kind of weird."

Why is that Bunny?

"Because it leans out over the cliff! Does it want to fall off?"

That was our last stop in the park, and we drove back to the KOA.

We were making mac & cheese for dinner that night, but it was really windy out.

"We were in charge of grilling the asparagus, and it got a little bit of seasoning... From the sand."

"There was actually a thunder storm headed toward us! With thunder! And lightning!"

Yep. That was an interesting dinner.

Tomorrow's Hint:

This is an all day trip... But with a lot of sitting.
