Our subsequent pit cease was Canyonlands, the place we snapped extra images and took a breather. After that, we headed in the direction of a close-by BLM land that boasted one of the crucial jaw-dropping views in all of Moab (in line with me, not less than! ). We embraced the ultimate hour of daylight there earlier than Laura and Josh exchanged their heartfelt vows and rings, bringing an finish to this unimaginable day. It actually was one of the best day ever, exploring it ALL. And one of the best half? Regardless that that they had been to Moab earlier than, all of the spots we visited have been new to them.
