I suppose if you are a climber, you might be familiar with Looking Glass Arch. I certainly was unaware of it, despite the markers along US Highway 191 leading into Moab.
Mid-day on a very hot and windy June, we stopped for a brief few minutes to see this reef sticking out from the high desert plain northeast of Canyonlands National Park.

Union Pacific's LDG51B 04, more commonly known as the "Potash Local", arrives at Intrepid Potash at 5:05 p.m. on Friday, June 4, 2021. After a long day and a slow journey with numerous delays, the crew secured the train right here just outside the UP yard in Moab Canyon, Utah. A PTi bus shuttled the crew back to East Yard in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Got on location and the sky wasn't look too good for photography, but then this happened. And as the sun continued to set behind us and it cleared up a little to the east, the light just kept getting better and better

Second day in Moab shot at the site of Balanced Rock. Able to turn 270 degrees and still see the light streaming across the sky.
Drive, Bike, Raft, Fly
Driving out of camp we drove next to the river and a bike path and throw in the sky and there are all kinds of ways to enjoy the area. Beautiful part of the country!
Large rock formations at the Balanced Rock area of Arches National Park. Balanced Rock is in back on the right. Very cloudy this week.
Day three of the trip. Just outside of Moab we discovered this waterfall and spent about an hour taking pictures.
Early morning light illuminates this squall outside of Moab, Utah. In the presence of such a monstrous force of nature it was impossible to ignore, especially with its accompanying display of lightening and thunder.
Incredible views east of Moab along Highway 128. This was from my camping trip in May of 2015 and I cannot wait to get back to this area.

I got out to visit my daughter in her new home in Utah. I'll definitely be going back... and I'm happy that I went in winter. I love winter...especially in places that will be 100 degrees plus and super crowded in spring, summer and fall!
