Today, we have reservations for a 4 hour jet boat trip down the Colorado River. It took us 64 miles round trip through Moab Canyon and just into Canyonlands National Park. The view of the rock formations from the bottom of the canyon was very different than it was when we were driving high into the mountains. The temperature reached 95 degrees today, a bit cooler than yesterday. Sure glad we weren’t here in August! There are SO many things to do here; jeep trails, rappelling, climbing, rafting, biking, canoeing and lots of hiking trails. We hiked several miles all together in Arches National Park alone J

After our boat ride, we went back to the Arches Loop and began where we left off yesterday. We ended at “Delicate Arch”. It was quite a rugged, rocky climb to get there, but it was beautiful! This is the arch that is depicted on the Utah license plate and the welcome to Utah signs on the highway. We also took a little time at the visitor’s center to buy T-shirts, pins, a hat and a magnet for the RV. Then it was off to dinner at “The Blue Pig” a really good BBQ restaurant! Tomorrow we are off to Bryce Canyon.
