Canyonlands National Park – Driving in Canyonlands

As we drove back thru Canyonlands, you might think that we had seen all there was to see, and the drive back would be rather boring.  Nope!  There are views all over the place in this wonderful National Park!

Take the Long View

As we came around a bend in the road, the view out from beyond the road was fantastic!  You can see the layers of rock formations starting at the road and out toward the distant mesa.  And, you can see layers of clouds and spots two different sections of rain with some bright clouds in between.

Lonely Tree

Here’s another of those wonderfully artistic looking dead trees that dot the park.  I love how weathered they look, yet still standing strong.

Rain in the Distance

It seems to be raining all around us at this point!  Here’s another view of rain falling in the canyon.  It looks like a silky curtain falling gently to the ground.  Was the rain actually falling gently?  I don’t know.

Rain Rolling In

In this image, the rain doesn’t look all that gentle!  The clouds look like they are leading the charge and the two rock formations appear like forts preparing to withstand the onslaught!  The rain is rolling in!  Time to get home to our RV!

Enjoy!
