Sat, Oct 6th - Monument Valley to Moab, UT & Canyonlands by Night Tour

We traveled from Monument Valley to Moab, UT today. We left all that red blowing sand behind--except for what got on our vehicles and coaches! It was a gray, overcast day and we even ran into a little rain and snow.


This picture is of the La Sal mountain range, and Yes, that is snow on the top of the mountain on the left.


This is an interesting business as it was built in a "Hole in the Wall!"

But as we got closer to Moab, the sun came out and warmed things up some for our arrival in the Riverside Oasis campground. We are camped next to the Colorado River.

At about 5:45 we had a wonderful BBQ dinner with all the fixings and then went on a tour boat up the Colorado River for a Canyon Lands Night Sound & Light Show after dark. We weren't allowed to take any pictures as flash pictures would have spoiled the light show! But you can go to the website below to see what it was all about. I don't think I've ever seen so many stars and the Milky Way was so bright. I even saw one shooting star!
