...but, as in most of life, the situation deteriorates as the day goes on. I see by the TV weather that the entire southwest seems to have thunderstorms rolling through. Sigh. Looks like more days of 'Cloud Dodge-em.'
Still, the mid-mornings have been clear. Here are the Three Gossips and Courthouse Towers in Arches National Park:
You get the idea. Look at that clear blue sky. So, I raced up into the Manti-La Sals to get a high view of Cathedrall Valley:
The Priest and Nuns formations tower above the valley:
Back in Arches, the skyline is filled with spires of sandstone eroded into fanciful, even whimsical, shapes. These are part of the Devil's Garden, where several major arches are found:
Soon, however, the clouds came on in battalions and regiments. Every overlook I tried had big black cloud-shadows everywhere.
Moab is right at the foot of the Manti-La Sals where all that rain is falling, so I returned to the motel in a downpour.
Hoping for another clear morning!!
