The mountains then gave way to mesas and desert landscape as we crossed into Utah.
We were going so close to Arches National Park, that I just had to pop in. It really is amazing landscape, but I will probably always think of poop when I see/hear it now. Why is that? A few tidbits: 1) they were having an unusual downpour that started when we were parking at the Visitor Center, 2) we arrived just behind an Asian tour bus, most of which apparently headed directly to the ladies' room, making that an impossible option for someone who had already been holding it through the desert, 3) Hadley was screaming once we were on the trail, so I tried to nurse her behind a rock, 4) Owen was trying to run off and hide to poop at the same time, and 5) Hadley had an epic diaper blowout on the way back down the mountain wherein we threw her clothes away. It was that bad.
That being said, we did manage to enjoy the sights and take some pictures... The dark sky provided an interesting contrast to the rocks. (Owen's in a green jacket - see if you can find him!)
The next day we got some more interesting clouds playing with the mountains and fall color on the drive north.
It's good to know that we can do a car trip like this if needed, but we were all glad to get home!
