A Visit to Moab and Canyonlands

So I forgot many things that happened over the last six months in the last post.

We went on a wonderful trip to Southern Utah again. We like those trips. They are cheap and it is so amazing down there! This time we went to the Moab / Arches / Canyonlands area. Again it is the paragon of majesty, especially the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands. From the viewpoints it really feels like you are on top of the world.

We went to Arches the first couple days, and to the Monticello temple with our good friends Nate and Cameron. It was really nice spending some time on a trip with friends. Here's a few pictures from that:



Each of us couples at delicate arch.


We met this great guy by Sunset arch who we talked to a little and he joined us in a quest. The front of the arch was 30 or so feet up a cliff. As we were leaving we saw some people in the arch, and Nate was determined to figure out how they got there. Eventually we found the back of the arch, and getting up there was pretty easy. When we got up there, some people on the front side asked how we got there as well. They too some pictures of us from below the arch and emailed them.
