road trip

Good afternoon.
We've just returned from a road trip!
This one took us 5 days, and 1170 miles. We left Vegas last Monday, and drove to Page Arizona. Just before Page, we stopped at Lake Powell and the Powell Dam.

We even stumbled on a wedding in process at the overlook!

We spent the night in Page with our room overlooking the dam.
Then it was on to Moab Utah the next morning, with a stop at Monument Valley on the way....

 Then on the way to Moab, we of course stopped and took a pic on this famous highway......

We spent 3 nights in Moab at a BW right in the center of town.  A little pricey, but so very convenient to walk to stores and restaurants. Then the next day it was off to Arches National Park, just outside of Moab.

It was very busy. Found out October is one of the busiest months because of the milder weather. We thought since school was in, it wouldn't be as busy.  Wrong! But it was fun to refresh our memory from our first visit nearly 20 years ago.
The next day, we went to Canyonlands National Park. About a 45 minute drive from Moab.

Not quite as busy as Arches. But very cold as a front moved through during the night. A good 30 degrees cooler than the previous day.
But we saw what we wanted and enjoyed our stay. Got up Friday morning, and made the 7hr drive back to Vegas. Like I always say, if you get there safe and get home safe, it's a good trip. And yes it was!.   :-)
