If you're ever in Utah, you must travel into Canyonlands. It is a requirement and should be on everyone's bucket list. And to think, Katie grew up here. What a place to grow up in.
The desert is a special place. It is not for everyone, but it is for me. The first time I came to Arizona, I knew I wouldn't leave. The first time I went to Utah, I knew immediately it was a place where my soul belonged. I feel more alive, more at peace in the desert. There is beauty in the desolation.
We left the rivers edge and made our way from BLM lands to Canyonlands.
I remember how badass we thought we were on the KTM. This was the first time we took it offload, two-up. We later did much rougher, technical stuff, but on this trek eight years ago, we thought we were gods.
At the top and back on pavement, Mike aired the tires up after a picnic stop in the shade. Katie is great company and loves our girls. She loved all over them in the back of the Jeep.
We pushed through into the park to check out some overlooks. We did not do that on our honeymoon, as we were more focused on hitting a bit of the White Rim Trail. No dogs allowed in the back country, means an opportunity to see the land from the top down.
And that is how the White Rim Trail got its name. It was really amazing to see it from above. Mike pointed out some of the route we took on our Honeymoon.
It was a great day. We motored back to the cabin. Popped into the market to buy fresh food to cook up for dinner and after another amazing day, lazed around until bed time.
