EDITED: Well I managed to find a place today (the 27th) to get my hair cut after a morning of hikes back up in the Arches. We were coming back through town around 1:30 and saw two shops on the same block – I told Mike I would run in one and see if they could fit me in for a hair cut and if they couldn’t I would try the other – the first shop worked out fine – the bangs are too short but other than that I have the same hair cut I normally wore before I thought I wanted to grow my hair out the last six months!! 
Canyonlands National Park is divided up in sections with the entrances many miles apart. To get to the north section yesterday (the 25th) we drove past the entrance to Arches some miles down the road before we turned west and finally got to the park.
The plant life is so pretty – at first a lot of people might not even notice the variety – but once you start looking you see a lot.
Pretty white flowers of some sort. I got some of the seed pods from some of these plants as these are from right before you get to national park land.
A fern like plant that has flowers on it in the spring
Prickly Pear Cactus
Little Yucca plants
I think I counted 10 different plants growing in this small area on the rim trail
A pretty blue bird a jay of some type I’m sure posed prettily while we ate lunch. This bush was right in back of our picnic table.
