Colorado to Washington

On our way to Washington, we went a bit south to Southern Utah....Canyonlands and Arches National parks. We had a lot of fun, and even though it was the high desert, it was pleasantly warm. We didn't have to sleep with the fly on our tent, except one night when it rained a bit. This is a beautiful area of the country. Arches was pretty crowded, and you could do all the good hikes in about a day. Then we went down to the backcountry in Canyonlands which had less people. It is definitely difficult to carry in all the water you will need, if you are unsure about the chances of finding water back there. The sunsets are beautiful!
