Great photos, Joshua!

I love Arches. Been there twice and look forward to making a third trip before too long.
Thank you Kento! Bummed we didn't make it down to Canyonlands while we were in Moab last week but we just had so many other things going on and didn't make the drive down there. Next time...

I said that both times I went to Arches.

I have not been in Fiery Furnace; I definitely want to check that out next time I am there.

Hit up Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches National Parks on a 9 day spring break trip. Very awesome areas of the world to see indeed, just plan to go off season or midweek, as it was fairly crowded in some places. Good times!5ACC4C3E-E3F1-411F-A49B-E892ABC792C3.jpg4EC89682-39BE-47E2-BC92-7F29717231E8.jpg3E887A24-DB8A-41A3-A094-BC77BD31332A.jpg1671D09A-AE9F-4056-A52D-89D12F266F06.jpg7AA7F592-8DFC-4640-8E1B-5B9F783C08EB.jpg

Best hike I ever took was in Bryce Canyon. As we started to descend into the canyon a blizzard hit. Full white out. We had to sit down and wait because we could not see 2 feet in front of us. After about 20-30 minutes it passed and revealed blue skies and a winter wonderland. The snow was that dry, Utah powder that you could practically blow away. Magical.

I'd be fine with that, especially if they would keep them available to the public in some way. However, as much as the Gubmint does some of the worst and best things with the Nparks, I would have a hard time seeing the grantees of the parks handling them in a preservable way. Can you imagine? yosemite, zion, yellowstone, etc. all given back to who, native americans?, and just shutting them down? or worse,(better?) Casinos, gas stations, hotels..... As much as I think its the right thing, it kinda isn't at this point...i don't know....just rambling....

Umm

it doesn’t matter what Our white supremacist system/culture wants.

The whole point of this is returning the lands to their proper possessors.

Not white guys like you telling them what to do with it.
