Moab, Utah is located right in the middle of a wealth of natural attractions. It has two National Parks (Arches and Canyon Lands) and one terrific State Park (Dead Horse Point). I visited all three today. Canyon Lands and Dead Horse Point are only a few miles apart on top of the same Mesa called Island In The Sky. Of the two, Dead Horse Point is by far the most photogenic. Don’t let the name put you off, there aren’t any dead horses present (anymore). If you want to know how it got it’s name, google it. But the views are spectacular, and since it is a State Park, I was able to do some really nice flights with the DJI Inspire. Arches was very nice, actually it may have exceeded my expectations. I was picturing it being overrun by tourists posing in the arches, and there was a tiny bit of that, but I think the 106 degree heat today kept a lot of the bozos in the shade. Some of the terrain is similar to Monument Valley.

I think this is Mother Nature’s way of telling us that size really does matter:
