What better way to start today than with a sunrise at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park. It is apparently a popular photo spot.

There aren’t too many mornings when you wake up and look out…and see this. Wow! This was the view from Green River Overlook this morning.

I headed back to Utah on my way to Canyonlands National Park. See you later Colorado!

Welcome to Utah!

Today was another morning of wildlife roaming through the campground on the South Rim of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. However, I didn’t see baby deer this morning.

Driving out of the campsite, I came across these two creatures enjoying the quiet morning. The little one was bouncing all over the place, but stopped long enough for a photo.

It was another warm morning at Colorado National Monument, 77 F at 6:30am! I enjoyed the sunrise from Otto’s Trail.

Nature sure has a way to wake you up early when you camp. Light shining into your tent, early in the morning. Birds chirping. But I wasn’t too upset when I got to see a beautiful sunrise in return.

While the past two days were a blast with fireworks, it is time to move on to the next National Park, Colorado National Monumemt. On the way, I spotted a wind farm.

This morning I headed over to Murray City for a good old fashion Fourth of July celebration, which they call Fun Days. While my hometown had a full day of activities like this, it was really cool seeing the community come together.

On the performance stage, an improv group had the audience laughing.
