Moab, Utah
After spending more time then I care to think about in a van, we arrived in Moab late into a starry night. After a few clutch hours of shut eye, we were welcomed to the Southwest with deep canyons, spectacular arches, and views far different from the Iowa landscape.
After spending the day exploring these foreign terrains we continued onward, and under the cover of darkness we rolled into and set up camp at Gooseneck State Park, Utah.
We arrived in a darkness that's lost upon the city-scape, darkness that collaborates with the absolute silence of dormant surroundings, and a darkness that served as a canvass for a relaxing night under a sky full of stars.
(^)The rising sun uncovered the sleeping Gooseneck landscape that lay carved by the San Juan River. Gooseneck was a spectacular sight that stretched the eyes, but it was only a preview for what was to come down the road.
Grand Canyon National Park, AZ
Through its landscape seemingly painted to the sky, it seems impossible to imagine the intensity of the Grand Canyon, and for a moment ordinary eyes open to an extraordinary sight.
