Canyonlands

After Bryce Canyon, we drove east to Canyonlands, and after a quick look around there headed to Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. The views from the car as we drove away from Bryce Canyon were incredible, and varied.

The road away from Bryce.

Then from canyons to forest.

CL0004

A typical view.

This may not look very impressive at first glance – just a crumbling cliff. But look at those trees at the bottom and you get some idea how huge it is.

This cabin belonged to an original settler. Believe it or not, his family of 10 slept in that cabin.

CL0008

Very different colours to before.

CL0009

Looks like a face.

CL0010

Then big plains ahead,

Another huge crumbly piece of nature.

CL0012

It was two to three hours of views like this.

Back to the rock formations seen more back at Bryce.

CL0014

You have no idea how vast that space is.

And this was over at Canyonlands.
