I often hit Moab, drive to Arches, do a couple of hikes and then bail and run because I am such a stinker about being around all those people. Your photos are great fun, and remind me of how often the best part of Canyon Country is trying to get the colors to show up right in a photo. Love it.

We are finally back in the states so I am hoping to get caught up. Our only WiFi for the last four weeks has been in a local coffee shop so it was hard to get everything read. Our blog is so far behind.<br /><br />I went through your last four blogs. Even with ten days in Capital Reefs we never got to the Grand Wash. Your photos are wonderful. I love all the color and little hidden places. With all the Jeep trails and hiking trails it is hard to get it all in. We are thinking about maybe heading there in a couple weeks if the weather is still decent. If not, we will be there again in the spring. We also have friends that live there. <br /><br />So glad that you are getting to see some of Arches even if only for a few days. It sure is beautiful. I can tell how much you are enjoying it through your photos. I can hear the excitement in your voice:) We stayed at Portal, also. I love my comforts so we stayed in the resort section. As a matter of fact, we already have reservations for April! Thanks for the memories of how gorgeous Arches NP is from every angle!<br /><br />John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.com
