Tuesday
When Sally, Helen and I visited Moab in 2003 we went to Canyonlands, so this was a little bit of nostalgia for us, although we did not visit Dead Horse Point on that occasion.
So our day was split into two parts, Dead Horse Point State Park and Island In The Sky. Both of these areas are up on the top of the plateau that surrounds Moab. There uniqueness comes from the way that the two rivers, the Colorado and the Green River wind from the North through incredibly deep and steep canyons to meet in the south of the park, reacting some amazing scenery. You may recognize Dead Horse Point from the final scene in Thelma and Louise, their leaping off place.
Because the distances are so large this made for a long day, however the weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky all day, so we had some magnificent views.
Wonderful.
