Moab 2019

I went to visit my parents last month.  This is a picture from the plane.

 

A little more attractive from land.  This is a view of the valley from the path behind my parents' house.

 

It's very easy to just take life easy while staying with my parents, so I made myself go out for a hike every day.  The first day, I went out to a trail behind my parents' house and got a little lost, so the second day, my dad went out with me.  Here he is looking down on a steep trail.  I think I said something like "Are you crazy?" and then we went a different way. We did climb back up this way, though. 

 

Here is my dad pointing out where his friend fell through some ice and had to be rescued. 

 

 

 

The third day, I went to Canyonlands.  This was my first time there, so I got a stamp in my book of National Parks.  I just found a random trail that had room in the parking lot.  There is still lots to explore, so I will go back next time.
