After we crossed over the border into Utah, we took the road going south to Moab, Utah.  It was a very cool drive, with lots of amazing red rock formations. It was also very hot, and very dry.  Gotta love the desert! 

Here we are getting ready to go on our hike of the Fiery Furnace, which is a trail that goes through some amazing slot canyons, and weird rock formations of domes and arches.  We took a lot of cool pictures, but for some reason I'm having trouble down loading them on this blog, so all of the rest of them are on Facebook.

This is in one of the slot canyons.  It was nice and cool in these where it was shaded from the sun.

The trail winds in and around these canyons so you have to have a permit to go in, and the hikes have to be with a guide, so you can get out safe.  We were with a group of about 20. It was a lot of fun!

We also drove around Arches National park and saw some pretty cool stuff.  Of which are all on Facebook.  We also went river rafting down the Colorado river, not to many rapids, the river is low for this time of year due to a lack of snow in the mountains last winter, and very little rainfall this spring.  But it was fun, and we got to actually get in the river and float along side the raft.  I recoment this trip to anybody!
