CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK DAY 2 AFTERNOON

CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK DAY 2 AFTERNOON

After heading back from town, we decided to have lunch by the rim of the canyon. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm decided to move in at the same time. We ate lunch in the car, but were blessed with incredible sunny skies in the afternoon allowing us to hike to False Kiva, a Class II archeological site off the beaten path and no official trail. Luckily based off of reviews, we knew to stop by the visitor center and they were showed us some landmarks to look for so we wouldn’t get lost.

The thunderstorms had all passed leaving us with an amazing sunset to watch just a short walk from our campsite overlooking the Green River Canyon.

CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK DAY 2 MORNING

CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK DAY 2 MORNING

How often do we really get up to watch the sunrise? Truth be told...it's not very often.

We decided to make it happen on our last day in Canyonlands and did the short hike to Mesa Arch, where the sunrise view thru the arch was supposed to be insane. Well…there just happened to be about 30+ photographers there trying to get the PERFECT shot…so we decided to go a little bit off to the side and enjoy the sun rising over the canyon instead.

Still pretty incredible.

CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK DAY 1

CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK DAY 1

Feeling pretty small here in Canyonlands. This place is UNREAL. I don’t know how my family missed this place on other trips, but this is a definite must visit place. The first day we hiked to Grand View Point, White Rim Overlook and Mesa Arch. All amazing.

This is one of our top parks so far. The views are just completely insane.

I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
