Canyonlands

A couple weeks ago we saw some of these:

while driving this:

through places like this:

with all of these people:

to camp here!:

Then drove passed these:

to get to here:

(the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers--notice the left side is light and the right side is dark)

We went up places like this:

down places like this:

through skinny places like these:

and even skinnier places like this!:

We hiked way up here:

to catch views like this one:

We had meals in this cave:

so did our friend:

But my favorite was driving through this:

to get to here:

where we climbed up there:

to get to these:

and to see more of these:

Some memorable moments:
-Driving down the freeway with the top off the jeep in the rain.  And hail.  And we left the top back at the rental store because there was a "zero percent" chance of rain.
-Dad Evans was in charge of timing how long our rice was cooking because he was the only one with a watch.  The timer was never turned off and he ended up waking us up at 5:45 in the morning the next day thinking it was 8:00.  Oops.  We had some great morning hikes and adventures though.
-We were too tired to make it all the way home to Salt Lake Saturday night so we pulled over and slept on the side of the road.  Doug and I slept in the car.  The others slept outside under the stars and woke up wet (and freezing) from frost and dew.
