After moving the camper to the new site, we headed for Canyonlands National Park. On the way in we decided to take a look at Dead Horse Point State Park. We have some nice pictures taken from the visitor center.
From there we headed back to Canyonlands. Our first stop was Mesa Arch. There we took a 1/2 mile round trip hike to see the Mesa Arch. Other than most of the hike seemed to go up, it was a pleasant walk and gave us an incredible opportunity to photograph the view into the Buck's canyon and Colorado river. There were several hikers their and one offered to take pictures of Esther and I.

We then went to the Green River Overlook. This gives you a view of the small canyons carved into the main canyon floor.
We then went to the Grand View Point Overlook. This give a magnificent view of the Colorado river as it winds it's way through the canyon below. It is backed by the La Sal mountains. What a view!
We then headed back to camp where we grilled the strip. I had more problems with this as the fat around the strip kept catching fire and burning the steak. It was well charcoaled, but the interior was done right and we both enjoyed it. Esther added corn on the cob and a salad. While Esther did the dishes, I dumped the holding tanks to get them ready for our trip to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. For dessert, Esther made her world famous strawberry, banana, and chocolate syrup ice cream sundae. It was then time to get our journal caught up and hopefully post to our blog.
