HOLYSMOKES!!!! This morning was one of the most amazing mornings of my life. But sometimes to get the good we have to pay the price, and last night was the price. It was a combination of terrible factors; wild dogs roaming around my tent, I was close to the road so people kept driving by, wild horses were making the most haunting noise ever, and it was cold again last night.
But it was all for the best, waking up at 6am and driving for 20 minutes allowed me to see one of the best views I have ever seen. I stood completely alone on this cliff point watching the sun rise behind massive buttes. As the sun got higher and higher the scale of these humungous formations of rock just got more and more intimidating. After spending the better part of an hour being amazed by nature I headed back, packed up my tent and set out.
The drive from Monument Valley to Grand Junctions is actually pretty dull, with the exception of Arches National Park, just outside of Moab. It is this huge national park made up of a combination of buttes, and natural arches that are formed from erosion of different types of sandstone. It is pretty amazing, standing under a bridge of rock that is 30 meters across ( I have decided that because Canada is Metric, I will try giving up Imperial measures for a while) and just hoping that it doesn't decide to collapse today.
After a drive that tested the limits of my gas tank I pulled into Grand Junction and am just about to grab a good night sleep I hope.
