Canyonlands Utah, Needles district Nov. 2011

Hey all, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

In less than two weeks I will be back in the Bend but had a great little trip to Southern Utah the beginning of November.

Full trip report here but here are a few teaser pictures:


Needles formations in Elephant canyon


Druid Arch


Alpenglow on the rocks


Chesler Park


A rainy day in Arches N.P., with waterfalls off the sandstone.

Me, looks like it was a great trip with the weather cooperating with little margin for error.  I'm glad you were able to help Dottie perhaps in a small way with what she helped you learn to love all those many years ago.  Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the report and pictures!  My wife and I stopped in Moab on our return trip from the Idaho Sawtooths and am planning on coming back to the Moab area next fall.  There is so much to see and do in that part of Utah.

Thanks Lance and everyone for the good words.  It was a place I needed to get to after all these years and will probably go back some day as well. 

Now just 4 days until I will be back in the Bend!  :dance:
