Day 3 on Canyon Spirit. We opted to wake up early for a sunrise tour of Arches National Park. We had a great guide with Moab Adventure Center. We definitely need to go back as we only saw some highlights and no long hikes. It was amazing and pictures really do not do it justice. Along the way to Salt Lake City we saw more wildlife. Saw something we had never seen before- a firefighter helicopter getting water from a stream and then dropping on a forest fire. We got some rain not too long afterwards so hopefully that helps the fire.
The scenery may have been the star on our 3 day journey, but the people made the journey even more special. We loved the conversations, laughter, and connections we made with fellow passengers and the crew along the way.
