Sabbatical Roadtrip Day 25

On to Canyonlands National Park! The park was about 45 minutes away from our hotel. Even at 9am we could feel the temps rising quickly. The first turnout at Mesa Arch looked like a pretty easy .5 mile hike. The hike started out with stairs and so Nate and I just went in our flip flops. We also didn't take any water with us! The hike turned into going through a sandy path with slippery boulders underneath. When we got to the arch (which was amazing!) we were thirsty! We learned our lesson and were more prepared after that little hike! There were many stops throughout the park. Each had a unique viewpoint. We are glad we visited but it got too hot to stay, on to Southern Utah!
