We spent 30 hours exploring an island in the sky. What? An island in the desert? Yes! The Island in the Sky is one of four districts in the sprawling Canyonlands National Park.

Our Copper Canyon adventure wasn’t at all what we imagined when we planned the road trip from our cozy home office in Canada. My vision of admiring views across the copper-coloured canyon while hiking along a quiet trail in the crisp mountain air was not to be. Not this year.

I get itchy feet. No, not physically (although it wouldn’t be shocking given some of the questionable showers I’ve used over the past couple of months). Metaphorically!
