This past week in Moab has been a blast. I apologize for being such a slack blog writer this week. My excuse? Distracted by fun! We have filled these past few days with many adventures on trails with wheels and on foot. We met a father and son from Alberta CA on the Poison Spider Mesa trail. We spent a couple of fun-filled days together exploring the backcountry on the Porcupine Rim 4 x4 trail and the White Rim trail through Canyonlands. We have seen some truly amazing scenery. The landscape is vivid in color and texture. The sky in the west seems to be a particular shade of blue not seen anywhere else.
The past couple of days we have spent exploring Arches National Park. The geology of this area is truly unique. The layers of sedimentary rock eroding and leaving these unusual formations of spires, arches, balanced rocks, and other amazing shapes is fascinating. The setting sun on the red sandstone is breathtaking. The sight of the full moon rising over the La Sal mountains from inside the park on Thursday was a sight that is beyond words.
