Day Hiker on Mesa


During a day trip into the "Island in the Sky" unit of Canyonlands National Park, a funny thing happened. I forgot to gas up one of the rental vehicles (the needle was on empty). The National Park Service politely sold us two gallons of gas at the then steep rate of $2.50 a gallon but would not allow us to drive into the park scenic drive. Hence, me and a buddy (shown here) stayed behind while the other group drove into the park. Fortunately, there was some nice scenery near the visitor's center where we hiked, complimented by a multitude of passing storm clouds...
