When we entered the park, there was no one there, so we went
mapless which made things a bit more difficult. We went down
the White Rim Trail which is meant for 4WD vehicles. about
4 hours later we made it back into Moab. But we got to see
some awesome views along the way.

the La Sal Mountains in the Back.
Time to go
Strange formations in Canyonlands from along the White Rim Trail.
The
Potash Evaporation Ponds in Shafer Basin. The water looked more blue in real
life, it has this effect from the Uranium tailings that are being refined
nearby. The La Sal Mountains are in the background.
Great pics
Drove round western usa in 97, and spent a lot of time in the Utah national parks (Bryce canyon, canyonlands, arches etc).
These pics bring back a lot of memories.

EVERYONE should take the drive from Moab along the Colorado River, past the potash plant, below Deadhorse Point and up the cliffs to Canyonlands National Park. It is a drive to remember. Many little side roads to explore. I love it down in Southern Utah.
