We left our campground and headed for Moab, Utah via route 24 back through Capital Reef and enjoyed it again. Here are a few shots of that journey to our campground in Moab.

The next day we went to Canyonlands National Park and like most other parks it had a uniqueness that was like a different world. We were at Arches many years ago and missed this park. We are glad that we returned. Today was part one of this large park, the Island in the Sky drive.

We had lunch in the park then visited the Dead Horse Point State Park which I have had on our bucket list. One interesting site was a bright blue area in the canyon, which is Solar Evaporations Ponds. A local refinery transforms this concentrated form of potassium chloride into plant fertilizer. At the end of the park drive is a nice view of the Colorado River in a gooseneck bend. To the left of the bend there is a rock formation that resembles a dead horse. Here is a link to the story.
