Today was the last day of our National Park touring for a while. We made the 63-mile drive to the Needles section of Canyonlands. We were going to skip it because there is only 8 miles of paved roads and many more miles of 4 wheel drive roads, but they we are here and have the time. As it turned out it was another beautiful Utah drive. The scenery was much different than what we had seen and the road to the park was worth the drive. Along the way we stopped at Newspaper Rock Archaeological Site. As we entered the Needles the scenery changed again and we drove the scenic road and did a couple of short hikes. Well it is time to head home to Ohio.
