Utah

Our last set of parks were Arches and Canyonlands National Parks in Utah. Although both parks are worthy of at least a whole day's visit, we only spent half a day at each. We went to Arches first, checking out the visitor center and driving part way into the park so we could hike out to delicate arch. After eating lunch in the RV, we headed out of the park, stopping so the kids could get their Junior Ranger badges and drove to Canyonlands. The two parks are close to each other. 

Canyonlands is divided into three areas, two of which are accessible by car and have visitors centers. We went to the northern one, Island in the Sky. After touring the visitor center we attended a ranger presentation, then hiked out to the overlook of the park. Once the kids earned their Junior Ranger badge we headed north.

Tuesday we stopped near Salt Lake City to visit friends, and yesterday we made the long drive back to Oregon.
