canyonlands

Made a Memorial Day weekend trip for some nature time in the desert with longtime friends; I do love the big city life but will always be a nature girl at heart.
Utah is beautiful! It reminds me of Mongolia. Headed southeast past Moab to our yurt in Monticello right from the airport.
Driving to the Needles, in Canyonlands National Park
 Making a stop at Newspaper Rock to visit the petroglyphs
And, the start of our 8 mile hike
Water stop! Photo cred - Sarah Ause Kichas
Follow the cairns! I learned something new. In the east, follow the trail blazes painted on the trees; in the west, these little stone towers to not get lost.
What a view.
