While staying in Moab, we paid a visit to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. A new adventure for us was to see what's called the Anticline Overlook, where the earth's crust broke apart to start the creation of the numerous canyons. Anyone can enjoy the colorful scenery, but especially those with an interest in geology. From the overlook, one can also see the evaporation ponds used in the production of salt and potash for commercial use.
The Needles District is a more remote section of the park and therefore gets less traffic. There are many hiking trails here, but otherwise the attraction is limited to an overlook, which we enjoyed.
On the way back to Moab, we stopped at a couple arches that are outside Arches National Park. Once we were back in Moab, a thunderstorm rolled through, giving us some excitement and a colorful rainbow.
