Moab, Ut

The Smothers Brothers were great; just like in the 60s but very gray. We left Tahoe with new tires and a new battery. In Carson City we turned the heater off - a chilly morning in the low 40s. We drove across Nevada and spent the night in Delta, Utah. An early start led us to Moab by noon.
We seized the opportunity to drive out to a couple of viewpoints in Canyonlands National Park. The views of the canyons from atop the large mesa are amazing. My favorite is the view from Mesa Arch.
Then we drove down the road and visited Arches National Park. We passed Balanced Rock and viewed some of the arches but due to the warm temperatures we did not make any hikes. More photos.
From here we drove on to Cortez, Colorado to visit our friends.
