Sunrise from White Crack -- the most coveted campsite on the White Rim Road, for obvious reasons.
Two hundred fifteen photos and 130 sinuous miles later, our breathtaking 3-day backcountry trip is finished. Due to the imminent arrival of a very special guest — my daughter — I am taking a short hiatus from blogging. Here is a photo, however, that I hope conveys the essence of the wilderness protected by Canyonlands National Park. Every footstep I take in this place deepens my love of it, and my commitment to preserving it for future generations. Please enjoy; I hope this whets your appetite for upcoming posts that shall be published as soon as the dust settles.
Ranger Kathryn's Arches 
Directions please. 🙂 Just kidding. We’ll find it…

Bring your 4WD and get a permit months in advance.

Can’t wait, Kathryn. Will seldom traveled side canyons be involved, I hope????

Only one small one. This was an orientation trip for staff, to introduce them to the White Rim Road, so we mostly hit the high points. Your phrase “seldom traveled,” however, just makes me want to go find some more of those and post it for my readers’ delight.
