More from the Megatrip

Greetings, all!
Yes, once again, it's been a while, but we're doing our best.

So, without further ado, let's head to Canyonlands National Park in Utah!

There are two entrances to Canyonlands...one is up near Moab, UT, and the other is near Monticello, UT. While we really wanted to check out both areas of the park, time just wouldn't allow it, so our visit to Canyonlands focused on the southern portion of the park, down near Monticello.
This entrance to the park is about 30 miles off the main highway, so a number of the photos you'll see here aren't actually in the park itself, but on the very beautiful road that leads to the park.

An interesting little side note: During the several days we were exploring the numerous parks surrounding the Four Corners area, there were incredible storms ripping through the area each day. We chatted with the woman who runs a little general store just outside Canyonlands, and she told us that there had been a tornado in the park just the day before. Wow!
Next post will be from the Monument Valley area, and you'll get to see a little bit of the storm action in those photos.
