Sunset, Canyonlands National Park, Utah

My wife and I traveled around the country after we graduated college and we spent about 5 days in southern Utah... Canyonlands National Park was one of our favorite spots.  Compared to the Grand Canyon, Canyonlands is more breathtaking, less populated and huge.  In fact, since we visited Canyonlands before we stopped at The Grand Canyon, we were really disappointed with The Grand Canyon.  Canyonlands is so pristine and remote.  You could spend days exploring this park and you could also spend a few days without seeing another soul if you venture into the depths of the park.  We spent 1 day there and ended up on this overlook waiting for a spectacular sunset.  At first it didn't look like much was going to happen in the sky... photographers came and went, but we stuck it out eating our graham crackers.  As the sun finally fell into the distance, we were treated with this brilliant display of light and color.
