Arches National Park

A few days after getting back to Lake City from Breckenridge, I loaded up for another road trip--this time to Provo, Utah for the Texas-BYU game.  While the game was a disaster, I was able to stop at Arches National Park for a September sunset and Canyonlands National Park for a sunrise.  Both parks were breathtaking.  After the game I checked out Park City, Utah and, of course, did a good amount of fishing.
