Canyonlands

Scary windy roads and steep cliffs greeted us at the Canyonlands National park. The views of the Green River are fantastic. There are lots of trails for 4x4 vehicles which look reeally scary. There are also trails left in the canyons from the 1950s when people were looking for Uranium. The tracks are still significantly visibly because 'black crust' (which holds the desert together) can only develop in around two years per century when the conditions are perfect.

Definitely my favourite place so far - less touristy than Arches.

We camped at a primitive campsite near the needles overlook - luckily this one had running water (some don't, you literally get a spot of ground). We pitched our tent in the moonlight and tried to sleep listening to random 'things' snuffling our outside. We're going to find some greener parks tomorrow and find a place to swim.

Beginning to feel happier about going back to Uni in September. I'm looking forward to drawing and sewing again and I'm excited about Victoria's wedding!
