Jason and Xander at Arches National Park


Xander and I drove from Salt Lake City to Arches National Park on the first day, we spent the afternoon and evening near Moab, Utah and camped next to the Colorado River in preparation for the Canyonlands assault on day 2.

Part of a panorama that still doesn't exist, but it looks cool. This is from the Northern part of Arches National Park, as we were hiking up to see the sunset.

Looking back along the rock ridge that we arrived on at the small tree/bush at the top of the rock against the sky. Unfortunately I'm out of focus.
