Canyonlands National Park, Moab, Utah

Hello Everyone,

Friday evening we went to Canyonlands National Park in Moab. Canyonlands is many canyons and some arches that are red rock.  Here's a little history from the National Parks Service Website.  Before there was a United States, Native Americans lived in Canyonlands. Coyboys, outlaws and explorers all went through Canyonlands before the United States established it as a National Park. "On September 12, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson established Canyonlands National Park. Initially consisting of 257,640 acres, Congress expanded Canyonlands to its present size of 337,598 acres in 1971." Here is a picture we took!
