We left the Springs by 11am and headed north to Denver and then west on I-70 through the Rockie Mountains and finally ending the day in Moab Utah. We had never been west of Glenwood Springs all the years that we lived here. When you come out of the mountains and get into Utah, you are greeted by large frozen, rolling sand dunes that are left over from ancient oceans.

Shortly after entering Utah we turned off I-70 and headed south to Moab near where Arches and Canyonlands Natioanl Parks are. I finally realize where the name Canyonlands came from. The tall mesas have sheer walls and remind me of walking in the canyons of downtown Manhattan among the skyscapers.

Friday morning we toured Arches National Park. The landscape is truly magnificent. And we did see some arches!
