January Sandstone

Over New Year's weekend earlier this year, my roomie, two other close friends, and I headed to Moab, UT, for the holiday weekend. We knew it would be cold, but the single-digit highs with wind chill froze us to the bone. The days were filled with lots of layering and warming up in the car and/or hotel room in between hikes.

It was a beautiful trip. There is nothing like the red rock peeking through the snow. We went on several hikes in the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park as well as Arches National Park.

After checking into the hotel, we headed straight to Arches National Park for a sunset hike to Delicate Arch.

The following morning we waited for the sun to warm things up a little bit and headed to Canyonlands to check out Mesa Arch as well as Grand View Point Trail.

 

After exploring Canyonlands, we headed back to Arches to walk around the Windows area of the park. The sun was going down quickly, and it got cold fast, but it made for a beautiful evening.
