We have certainly enjoyed being in this part of the Country. The National Parks can be a playground for people of all ages and we were no exception.
Monday we visited The Needles District, so today we visited the park's Island in The Sky District to the North. Following a brief stop at the Visitor's Center we headed to Mesa Arch and a short hike. Next it was a short drive to the Green River Overlook and the views were spectacular. Upheaval Dome was next where Geologists believe a meteor or comet may have struck the area thousands of years ago. It was a fascinating geographic display, but who can say for sure. Still, spectacular and worth the two mile hike. A short drive South past Murphy Point to the White Rim Overlook and lunch. Our next stop was definitely the highlight of this District, Grand View Point Overlook. A two-mile hike around the rim and we were mezmorized by the beauty, the scenery and how lucky we were to witness this place. Words fail to describe our experience. As we prepared to head back to Moab and our hotel, we visited Murphy point for a few more photos.
Finally, we're back at the hotel, a cup of coffee and a much needed shower. Come on Dinner! We're hungry...but then, aren't we always hungery?
