Moments in Dirt and Ink

Candlestick Tower Overlook Looking out over Soda Springs Basin (Green River side). The Candlestick Tower is in the distance near the right hand cliffs.

Canyonlands National Park Hanging off the edge of the Island in the Sky is the Mesa Arch. We stopped to have a look, which requires bout a half mile walk along one or both sections of a loop trail. The trail is a well trod path through the sand and sages, generally quite well marked by people traveling along it, but also by cairns when it crosses rocks. Starting along the trail toward the cliff and the arch at the edge of the Island in the Sky. First look at Mesa Arch.
