Today we left for Canyonlands around 8:30. We started at the Needles part of the park and drove 6 miles on a dirt road up above the canyons(again, no rails) to a place called Elaphant Hill. We couldn't go on the rest as this mini-van isn't exactly a 4-wheel drive. We then left for the Islands In The Sky part of the park. Sarah and Christopher got their jr ranger badges there and they were really hard to get. After Canyonlands we went to the Arches (got badges there too) and hiked to Widows arches and to the viewing area for Delicate Arch. Arches made us think of roadrunner and coyote - beep, beep!!! It has been colder than normal and the full moon is beautiful!

We forgot to mention some trivia from yesterday. There was a guy in the bathroom playing a violin. He said the acoustics were good there. Go figure.

Tomorrow is the Colorado river (maybe) and Capital Reef. It should be an early night in Escalante before heading to Bryce and the Grand Canyon.
