May 27, Thursday we spent the day exploring Moab downtown shops and restaurants. The winds were still very gusty.
Friday we went on a four hour jet boat tour down the Colorado River into Dead Horse State Park and Canyonlands National Park. It was great seeing the canyons from down in the river. Lots of movies are filmed in the area and Thelma and Louise's drive off the cliff was also filmed there and the guide pointed out the cliff where it was filmed.
We also stopped and were shown the petrified forest where trees had turned to rocks.
FACTOID: Arches National Park has 2000 different arches formed from the red rocks.
We are back on the road very early tomorrow traveling Route 191 to Rts. 70, 24, 12, 89 to 14 riding about 325 miles to our next stop in Cedar City where we plan to see Zion and Bryce National Parks. Coming close now to the end of the motorcycle journey, just a few more days before we will be back in Sedona. (4175 motorcycle miles to date).

It looks like we missed an important National Park by missing Arches National Park. It looks breath-taking!!! You sure have planned a long trip for today. I don't want your trip to end.
ReplyDeleteLookin good... wanted to know if you are going to visit Candy rock Mountain in Utah on your way to Bryce Canyon? Bill and I stayed there in cabins when we went quading with a group of friends.
ReplyDeleteAlso another suggestion you may want to visit Page, Arizona and see Lake Powell. It is beautiful! Or, go through Fidona and go to Jacobs Lake and see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Well, we are enjoying the pictures.. keep them coming, Love Michelle
