BEAUTIFUL UTAH...ZION, BRYCE, CANYONLANDS, AND ARCHES NATIONAL PARKS

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in gorgeous Utah.  Both the land and the people had a good vibe.  The national parks there were breathtaking.  Our first stops were Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.





 Next we visited Bryce Canyon.  Each park is distinctive in its own stunning way.

We went through several of these natural bridges. 

We loved seeing all the Hoodoos.  They look like people standing around. 

Window rock!


The high elevation made breathing difficult for us as we live at sea level.




We could have reached out and touched this raven.

We next went to Arches National Park.  Again...more stunning rock formations.   Like fairy lands.  

Many warning signs caution to listen for cracking sounds!!

Yikes....just teetering on the edge.



Once the capstone wears away, the rock has no more support and soon falls.


Such beautiful formations.




Watching these adventure seekers made us nervous. 

And it was a verrry windy day!!!


And last but not least.....Canyonlands National Park.  It's interesting how some of the parks are viewed by looking UP.  While others...like Canyonlands, are viewed by looking DOWN. 







I really HATE it when he does this!!

More interesting Hoodoo formations.
