Canyonlands was quite beautiful - these photos don't do it justice due to the cloudy skies. Some of the views were as spectacular as the Grand Canyon!
An arch at Canyonlands...
On the way out of Canyonlands, this motorcylce passed us.... I wish I had gotten to the camera quicker....the motorcycle is pulling a trailer - strapped on top of the trailer is a extra-large pet carrier with a dog inside! The man must really want to travel with his dog!!
And just had to document the speed limit! Our little rental car had trouble maintaining this speed!
Strange rainy weather!!
Saw several little pretty waterfalls....I'm sure they are normally dry.
And all the little creeks were red and raging!
At Capitol Reef National Park, I had read about the orchards that are left-over from the original Mormon settlers in the late 1800's. The park service keeps the orchards growing in the fertile valley - and they allow visitors to pick and eat anything they want while in the orchard!
If you want to take apples away, you weigh them and leave $1 per pound in a honor box.
I picked a yellow and a red one to sample while we were in the orchard. Very nice and crisp!
Still rainy - a nice drive thru Capitol Reef.
One of the nice drives was closed due to flash floods.
We were making our way to the end of this phase of the trip. Lovely drive thru the mountains.
Beautiful aspens in fall splendor!
Amazing how different the terrain is in just a few short miles!
Heading back towards Page, Arizona where the plane is still parked!
