Wednesday we hit Moab. Had breakfast then hit Potash Road to Shafer Switchbacks that took us into Canyonlands Natl Park.
Once in the park good view, cool rocks etc. We only saw the northern end, Island in the Sky district, there is the Needles district to the south, it would be a 2ish hour drive to get there from the north end.
Here is a view over the White Rim. You can see White Rim trail just left of the rim below. I plan on doing that some time, it's a 95ish mile trail that goes around the rim of the canyon below.
We stopped for Mesa Arch amongst many other things in the park. You can see the La Sal Mountains in the distance.
Today I went rock hounding and just doing some exploring in an area I have not been. It took me up Douglas Pass, quite the change from the Fruita/Grand Junction valley area.
After leaving there I went and explored North Desert area north of Loma/Fruita. It is a big expanse with these kinds of roads going all over.
Sugar Creek is famous for Smallmouth Bass where it empties into the Mackinaw River .

It's not Waterfall Wednesday but here is a warmup this week. This is the westernmost waterfall in PA a bit less than a half mile over the border with Ohio.
