2006 Cross Country Car Trip - Thursday September 21st

(6476 miles driven) Today we retraced our steps back to Arches and got to see the setting for the Red Cliffs Lodge, UT and the road we took along the Colorado River getting to the lodge. Arches, UT was ok. It is mostly a hiking park and you can not see most of the arches unless you are willing to hike up to 4 miles one way. We did some hiking but not anything near that. Then it was on to Needles in Canyonlands National Park, UT. Needles was somewhat uneventful after everything we have seen. We then traveled to Durango, CO. Tomorrow we will be on a nine hour steam train ride to Silverton, CO and back to Durango, CO.

Our room at Red Cliffs Lodge, CO.
