Before getting to this weeks desktop, there's a couple of things I wanted to remind you about.
First, I'm still way off on the updates and have a couple of projects
which are going to consume most of my free time the next week or so.
Expect the next update around the 22nd and hopefully I can stay on
track. Second, the previous weeks wallpaper is always still available by clicking the preview to the left found on this page. Enjoy!
Above is this weeks free desktop. Once again, this from a park
close to Moab, UT, Canyonlands National Park - Island in the Sky. Two
important forces, gravity plus the Colorado River and Green River,
helped form this wonderful park. From their actions in the past and
their present existence, the two rivers actually divide Canyonlands into
three sections - the Maze, the Needles and the Island in the Sky. Each
of these sections offers a different experience and each is well worth
making a visit. The Maze is virtually undeveloped which offers you a
true (and very real) wildness opportunity, the Needles takes down into
canyons for a close-up adventure, while the Island in the Sky section
lives up to its name as you find yourself elevated around 2000 ft above
the Colorado and Green Rivers along with the other two sections of the
park. The amazing perspective this section provides numerous overlooks
that rewards visitors with magnificent views, plus there are plenty of
trails to hike, both staying up on the rim and venturing down into
numerous canyons. The shot presented here is from the Green River
Overlook and the river can be seen in looping the right-center of the
picture (I believe this an area known as Turks Head). Taken in June
2007, this is one of those places I really find enjoyable to just sit
and soak up the view. With an absolutely massive trail system, numerous
4x4 only roads, and two untamed rivers, Canyonlands National Park offers
a very real wilderness experience for those who want it, or if you're
looking for something much tamer, that's available too (plus any level
in between). No matter what level you choose, you're sure to find a
truly rewarding and entertaining visit here.
