The Maze and the Mesa | Day 0: Change of Plans?
Friday, April 8, 2011

Of course, my time would have been better spent sleeping, but at least we did not have to make any last minute changes to our plans and we would still be able to explore The Maze District of Canyonlands for a few days.

There were a few rough sections, but nothing a high clearance vehicle couldn’t handle.
