The beauty of the last few days is unimaginable. We have made a base at Green River State Park. Thursday we spent at Arches NP, Canyonlands NP and Dead Horse Point SP. Arches is amazing and photos just can’t capture the vast size and colors of the landscape! We had high hopes to hike to “Delicate Arch” but it was so crowded, COVID-19 precaution won and we passed. Many of the Arches are named by the park service or others, but we created some pretty unique names “old lady in chaise lounge”, “turtles kissing” and some that I better not…

Arrived at Wines of San Juan a member of Harvest Hosts. As we drove in were greeted by peacocks! Once parked we hurried to have a wine tasting! We settled on their 2014 Tribulation Reserve, a dry red; the grapes were grown on the property and produced on the property. The vineyard is delightful with eclectic furnishings...we met one of the owners...it has been a super experience! The vineyard is located in the San Juan River Valley and they have won international awards for wine making. We flew the drone for some overhead pictures! Tomorrow we are heading…
