Just as the weather guys predicted – it is raining. But I’d much prefer rain and 64 degrees to sun and 105 degrees, as is much the case all summer long. If you are inclined to visit these parks you should plan to come between the months of October and early May. Otherwise, not only are these places packed with tourists, but they are hotter than hell. Parking in the park is fairly limited as well. Because of the weather, the day I visited the park parking was not issue.
While there are some pretty good rock formations here, I was a bit underwhelmed. The colors when wet were pretty good, but I can’t help but think how good clear weather with a blue sky and puffy white clouds would have been. Oh well, I just live in the now and enjoy anyway.
Tomorrow I head to Canyonlands National Park. The weather is predicted to be great. I believe the formations will be much more impressive. We shall see. All in all, the scenery in this state so far is pretty amazing.
