I had a bit of bad luck with the weather during my visit to Canyonlands National Park. Then again, being caught in a thunderstorm with lightning striking to the left, to the right and in front of my car is something I won't easily forget. I kept telling myself that a car functions as a Faraday cage as I drove back to Moab. Partly because I stayed one day longer than I'd originally planned I managed to do some great hikes. I'd love to go back one day.
