Canyonlands National Park - Needles District

Next, we visited the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park for a couple of days, revisiting one hike (Peekaboo Trail) and covering some new ground, too (Kesler Park Overlook Trail).  Great hiking, with lots of wild rock formations, changing around every corner.  Both days, approaching afternoon thunderstorms kept us hustling back to the car.  We were mostly successful, except for a few sprinkles the 2nd day.  Our accommodations were another first ... a quite deluxe glamping yurt.  It kept us cozy during a pretty intense storm one night!
