Today\'s hike is in Canyonlands National Park. The trail begins with a gradual climb across open wildflower-filled grassland toward the rim of Island in the Sky mesa. The sandy trail eventually changes to slickrock before reaching a mesa-top vantage point offering awe-inspiring views across the Colorado River Canyon to the soaring sandstone pinnacles and spires of White Rim. Watching for bighorn sheep, hike just below the mesa rim along the Lathrop Trail, with the cliffs of Island in the Sky above and the fantastically carved red rock canyons of the Colorado River spread out before you. Returning to the lodge, enjoy a satisfying dinner together to cap off the day.

Admire its graceful shape and color, pausing for a picnic lunch with wonderful views of this natural work of art. Next, hike the Devil\'s Garden Trail to view Landscape Arch, the longest in the park, stretching to more than 300 feet. The Double Arch and Windows Trail round out an amazing day of exploring.
