Canyonlands was amazing. There was a quick rainstorm while we were there. It poured for a few minutes and then this amazing rainbow appeared over the terrain.
Kurt and I felt like we were standing under the rainbow and found the pot of gold.
We hiked out to an arch and started taking a few pictures. It was stunning.
So then we had a few bizarre moments in the park. At one point It felt like we were standing at the top of the world and we could almost touch the clouds. For those of you who know us, you know that music is a major part of our lives, so of course we had some great tunes playing as we made this 26 mile trek around Canyonland. I just commented to Kurt about how it felt like we could touch the clouds when The Road and the Sky by Jackson Browne started playing. Then Jackson started singing, "When you come to the place where the road and the sky collide, throw me over the edge and let my spirit glide..."
As the day started to come to an end, I turned to Kurt and commented on how majestic it looked as the sun started setting and it rolled across the mesas and lit them up in weird ways. What do you think started playing? Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me by Elton John. It was really starting to get creepy.
As we were leaving the park at dusk, the coloring of the sky was a bit sinister. Far off in the distance we could see these wavy colored lights which we thought might be the remnants of another rainbow. It was very bizarre. We started making jokes about maybe it was an alien invasion, or an apocalypse. Next thing we hear is Don't Feel the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult.
For a little extra entertainment...we love this picture. I'll tell you the story when I see you. It is quite comical. Even Gwen got in on it.
