Canyonlands and Newspaper Rock

This morning we moved 50 mile south to Mountain View RV Park in Monticello, Utah. This nice small park will be home for two nights. The afternoon was spent traveling to Newspaper Rock, definitely the best petroglyphs we have seen.  We then continued on to Canyonlands National Park - Needles.  They had several interesting hikes through the Needles including an Anasazi grain bin.  On the 18 mile way back home we took the forestry road over Manti-Lasal Mountain, probably a 2,000' elevation gain as the temperature dropped from 78F to 63F. Most of this is also open range.  It was nice to see pine, spruce, and aspen.  We have seen just about enough red and brown rock.
