This past weekend we headed down to Canyonlands for a sunset hike to False Kiva and some star gazing under the new moon. Out of the many times we have been to this area we have never done this monumental hike and I am so glad we were finally able to see it at sunset because this time of day casts the best shadows! The only thing I didn’t enjoy were the bats that flew above us as we hiked back out! The desert seems to come alive at night with all the creatures above and around you! We decided to sleep in the back of the truck so we could spend the night looking at the stars. It was a quick, spontaneous trip but those have become some of our favorite because the memories we make last forever.
Oh yes we recall our drive into Canyonlands NP. Did not have the pleasure to spend the night though!
You must if you ever go through again! The stars are so amazing at night!!
Oh we can only imagine! Yes we will definitely try to!
It is really so nice that you live within driving distance of all these wonderful,places! I am looking forward to a “tour of the West” one of these years. 🙂
You will love it there are so many amazing spots all close together! We can always give you some must see spots to add to your list too! 😀
wow your pictures look so great!!
Thank you!!
Bats keep the biting insects away! And they’re amazingly adept fliers… they’ll never hit you! 😉
This is a hike that is still on my list. Guess it is time to get it done this spring! Yes, the bats would freak me out!
You should definitely do this hike! It was a little hard and lots of rock to go up and down but it was so worth it! We loved it!
Wow so pretty! love your pictures!
Such beautiful views!
That is so beautiful. I would love to live in walking distance of somewhere so pretty to hike!
It’s so beautiful! I’d love to go there sometime. 🙂
Anyone who still thinks the earth was formed in 7 days needs to travel with you.
I loved Canyonlands. As for bats, I enjoy them as long as they don’t fly too close or into the house.
Definitely not too close! Lol… there were so many of them flying around it was kinda crazy! Thankfully they were small ones, and thankfully they didn’t get too close!
Coming up w/reference names for each adventure is quite clever, probably a whole lot easier than saying “remember that time when…” I think I’ll start doing the same. Stunning photo by the way, really serene looking!
Thanks so much! We have fun coming up with catchy titles.. glad you noticed!
I bet…You can get quite creative doing so.
Wow,what an adventure your photos are amazing!

Very beautiful. What has influenced you to take the photos,? Very stunning

Amazing
Wow that’s amazing. You must have been quite high up.
It was really neat! You hike down in from the top by the paved road, but once you get down off the trail you realize you are still so high up from the bottom of the canyon! It’s so pretty!
Wow, stunning! What an awe inspiring place to visit. I would love to go there one day.
