Canyonlands National Park

America's greatest idea never disappoints. We spent one full day at Canyonlands over the summer of 2019. I am so glad we chose to AirBnB the night before we entered the park (because A/C). Canyonlands had few visitors because it was August...in the desert. The important lesson we learned here was, Canyonlands in the summer was not our jam. I foresee another trip in our future, just maybe in the fall.

We stopped before starting White Rim Trail to air down. Wyatt and I went to explore a little bit while Heath did his thing.
