Holiday Road Trip: Canyonlands South

We finished our exploration of Canyonlands, this time from the south side that puts you at the bottom of the canyons. In a snowy quiet parking lot we let Kia out for a few minutes to let out some energy and play catch with her frizbee. While she frolicked and jumped Hans took pictures with the telephoto lens.

In the park there were some interesting sights like an old cowboy camp and an ancient granary. At the end of the day we drove out to another unique arch appropriately called “Jug Handle” and some dinosaur footprints preserved in a slab rock perched precariously at the end of a sketchy trail. Kia came along on the short hike but she had to be lifted most of the way and kept on a leash so as to avoid any accidents.

We spent our last night in Moab playing Munchkin and talking fairly late into the night.
