The land of canyons.

We were a bit late setting off this morning. The hotel provided breakfast and we made the most of it. Most of the time we've been having a simple breakfast in our room.

First view point today was Mesa Arch along a short loop trail. If the view appears familiar it's used as one of the backgrounds on Windows 7 PC's.

Grand View point trail was described as an easy 1 mile out, 1 mile back trail. I don't know if we need a rest but we both found it not so easy, but it gave great views over The Islands In The Sky area of Canyonlands National Park.

I become a little confused at this point as to what we were doing! We drove a 12 mile round trip to view Upheaval Dome. I thought it was ok but Hazel wasn't so impressed especially as it was an uphill walk and quite warm.

We returned to Moab about 4 pm and the bakery had shut. 1 bag of crisps since breakfast!

We did manage an hour or so by the pool, a very nice way to finish the day.
