Canyonlands National Park - Moab, Utah

Today we visited the Islands in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park. There are several overlooks that provide views of the canyons below, including the Colorado and Green Rivers. Off in the distance were the La Sal Mountains that had already received some snow.

We took the short hike to Mesa Arch which provided a vista to view Shafer Canyon. This canyon is know for its steep switchbacks that lead to a trail at the base.

This is our last day, of our two-week stay, in Moab. We enjoyed our time here and hope to return some day.
Tomorrow, we head further south.
