Canyonlands





Phaedra here. We arrived in a neat town called Moab in Utah. Mom and Dad must really like it since they go to town every day. Every restaurant has veggies for Mom. It's a small town right in a really hot valley.

We were allowed to go to Canyonlands National Park which is located about 35 miles from Moab. It is similar to the Grand Canyon but smaller. Since Zoe and I went along with them, they were unable to do much hiking because pets could not go on trails. We were able to stop at overlooks throughout the park. Two rivers have formed these canyons, the Green River and the Colorado River. We drove about 40 miles throughout the park, stopping often and looking down into the canyons.

We spent about 4 hours in the park and stopped to see more petroglyphs on the way back to the campground.

For the rest of the time here in Moab, the folks will be visiting Arches National Park.
