We just drove along this track in a 4 wheel drive vehicle in Canyonland National Park, Utah.


Left a busy Salt Lake City and headed south to Moab in Utah. Stopped at Green River for a picnic lunch and reached Arches National Park at 1:30 pm. We did the mile walk along Park Ave that trails along eerie rock features. After this visit we checked in to our accommodation and headed to our meeting point for our 4x4 vehicle into Canyonland National Park. Our guide and driver was "Johnnie" a local who knew every corner and feature inside this park. We were in the park at sunset and what a magnificent 4 hour excursion we had. The scenery is almost Grand Canyon like, in fact they say that this is the start of the famous landmark. We were very happy that we experienced the way nature has made the rock formations and photographs taken does not do justice. We have a short drive to Monument Valley tomorrow, however we will go back into Arches National Park and walk the 5 klms to Delicate Arch before heading south to Arizona. Cheers.
