The wind died down overnight and we are off early and get one of the 12 Willow Flat camp sites in the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park. Hiked Whale Rock trail followed by Upheaval Dome trail. Drove back to Grand View Point Overlook and hiked out along the rim as sunset approached.
There are amazing views here everywhere you look. The park is enormous and it’s well worth returning to explore other districts and the back roads.
