semi-desert and desert (not only in utah). we've been in the city of grand junction for the last two days and the next two as well. a new hosting family, very nice people. i've been to the colorado national monument last evening and saw some things you would not see in europe. what can wind, water, snow and ice do to the rock, that's amazing. and let's not forget the river as well. after that experience i should have been prepared for the visit to the arches national park in moab, utah (my second visited u.s. state:). but i do not think i was. the beauty way incredible. i'll give up describing and let you rather see some of my pictures taken at the place. i think i may have seen the most beautiful nature places in my life so far.
