Canyonlands National Park

For the "Visit Your National Parks" free weekend, we decided to take a trip to view some of the beautiful things that the great state of Utah has to offer! It worked out that it was also a company trip to take a vehicle to Moab, so we were able to go all that way and not take our own car or pay for gas either. We went to the Canyonlands National Park first and then to Arches. (Since they're in separate clumps of a lot of pictures, I decided to break them up into 2 posts!)

We did a lot of walking with Eryn leading the way most of the time!



She was good at finding things along the trail. Rocks, plants, and lizards all distracted her!

This is Mesa Arch.

Eryn's best post of the day! Arch the back and scream. She wanted to go over the edge! (Grandma's would all freak out if they realized how close to the edge she came from time to time!)

Mesa Arch without people in the picture! People were climbing on it and all around it. Mike went to the edge of it and stood on it, but he had the camera, so no pictures of that.

Eryn again begging to be let go and Brooke looking like the Gorton's Fisherman (fish stick guy) with that sexy hat! I'm just glad that Grandma Crawford sent that so she had a hat. It was just too bad that the outfit that goes with it (which makes the whole thing look adorable) is still way too big.

I still found time to chase around a few very large ravens!

Canyonlands was fun and a good warm up for Arches. Where we would be doing a lot more walking and have much more excitement!
