| View from Canyonlands "Island in the Sky" Visitor Center |
Late getting this one out. I got use to once a month posting while in Jackson Hole. Sorry!
We left Jackson, WY in the rain - as usual. Took two days to travel down to Hill AFB (Ogden/Salt Lake City, UT) where we stayed for a week. Stocked up - more or less - and took in a few sights in the area. Left Hill AFB Oct 10th and traveled down to Thompson Springs, UT. Google maps knows where Thompson Springs is located. Garmin does not. Whatever Ford is using for its navigation service does not know where Thompson Springs is located. Even after the DishTV app located us (to update local TV channels), DishTV knew we were out in the boonies and suggested we call to update local TV channels. (We stayed with the Salt Lake City locals as they give Moab, UT weather.)
In case you're trying to locate us, we're on the north of Arches Natl Park just off I-70. We're 40 minutes from Moab, UT. We're staying in Ballard Motel & RV Park.
Now for the good stuff. Arches National Park (NP) has timed-entry for access through Oct 31st. We have four days reserved via recreation.gov. We decided to go to Canyonlands NP first on Oct 11th, and then go into Arches NP after 4:00 PM just to check out the visitor center and get a taste of the park.
Pictures below are of Canyonlands NP and include pictures from the Needles area as well as Island In the Sky. David
PS No, we did not plan this for the solar eclipse. Yes, we experienced it. No, I did not get any pictures of it.
