Mon 17th Oct
We spent the day touring the sights around Moab. First we visited Arches N.P. Lot's of really dramatic red rock scenery. Walked a couple of short trails, nothing too long or strenuous as it was a bit warm. One of the more impressive aspects of the park is how the entrance drive has been engineered into a near vertical cliff, and yet cannot be seen from the main road at the bottom.
In the afternoon we visited Dead Horse Point State Park, which is a small, almost isolated mesa accessed via a narrow neck of land perhaps 10 yards wide.
The views over the Colorado and canyons is wonderful. It is a really quiet and peaceful spot. The mesa got its name from past practice of corralling wild horses there.

Tomorrow we continue our journey East leaving Utah.
