Yes that is a lot to squish into one posting, but they all seem to go nicely together so why not. Just a little clarification: Arches, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef are national parks. Dead Horse and Goblin are state parks and Esclante is a national monument. Everyone feel better that they know that now? Each place was more beautiful than the next. I don’t think there’s a lot of need for commentary here, you can just peruse the photos and ohhh and ahhh as I’ve done for the past several weeks. So without further a due here are some of Utah’s most magnificent natural wonders!

Nobody gave it up for Arches, Canyonlands et al, so I’m giving it up!! I can;t stare at the 0 in the bubble a day longer 🙂
Hi Marc…it’s Melissa from Trattoria Stella in Denver! I will also give it up for, well, all of Utah. I’ve done a bit of canyoneering there myself – my new favorite sport. I was excited to see you got to experience a little bit of slot canyon action while you were there. Great to meet you and Barry!
Hey Melissa, it was really nice talking to you too. We decided you’re going to be a great teacher! Best of luck and thanks for your note.
