Lake Powell in the United States has a unique red rock canyon and water sports scene. Here you can rent a cruise ship that can carry up to ten people. You can drive it yourself without a driver's license. Of course, there are also speedboats that are more difficult to control, as well as kayaks.
Lake Powell is definitely a highlight of traveling in the central U.S. After seeing the Grand Canyon and the yellow land of the central desert, it is refreshing to come to a turquoise and clear lake.

When I drove a RV fleet around the western United States in 2016, I didn't include Arches National Park in the trip because the RVs were relatively slow and the mileage was long. This year, I added Arches National Park to the trip to the seven natural attractions in the western United States, as well as Monument Canyon, which I will visit tomorrow.
Arches National Park is located near Moab, Utah, USA. It covers an area of 309 square kilometers and preserves more than 2,000 natural rock arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch. The highest point in the park is Elephant Peak, which is 1,753 meters above sea level.
Arch National Park (Arches National Park), located near the town of Moab in Utah, USA, covers an area of 309 square kilometers and preserves more than 2,000 natural rock arches including world-renowned exquisite arches. It is not in the presence of its majesty!

Temple Square is also a very distinctive place in Salt Lake City. Some very interesting design styles can be seen on the square. The entire Temple Square is a huge place worth visiting. There are many local community complexes surrounding the square.
Temple Square is a group of buildings in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, that are the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). It includes the Salt Lake City Temple, the Salt Lake City Tabernacle, the Salt Lake City Meeting House, the Seagull Monument, and two visitor centers. It covers an area of 10 acres and is surrounded by walls.

Today, the driver's team went to the monument, which was not arranged during the driver's 2016 RV driving around the western United States. Monument Valley actually includes a large area around the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, and the Navajo reservation is equivalent to a national park.
Tickets are $8 per person!
Really worth it! Worth going!
It is recommended to drive an SUV/pickup truck to go in for a walk.
It is really enjoyable to stand on the sunroof of the car, be careful of the dust.
Tourists who drive small cars can also ride in their cars.
There are also horses raised inside

We went to Salt Lake City to see the Great Salt Lake. The Great Salt Lake is a vast expanse of snow-white and boundless. We had no problem walking and running on it, but the scenery was not as beautiful as the fountain in Yellowstone Park, and it didn't seem as colorful as the salt lake in Qinghai.
Salt Lake City, named after the Great Salt Lake, ranks third among the inland cities in the western United States, after Denver and Phoenix. In 1847, a group of Mormons led by Brigham Young built a pioneer settlement here. Since then, the church's headquarters has been located in Salt Lake City. "The Great Salt Lake is 40 kilometers northwest of Salt Lake City, covers an area of 3,525 square kilometers, and has beautiful scenery. This is an inland lake far away from the sea and has no drainage outlet. The lake is mainly replenished by natural rainwater and three rivers that bring melted snow from the mountains and deserts. The rivers carry a large amount of minerals and trace elements washed from the mountains and deserts into the lake. Its natural environment is similar to the Dead Sea in the Middle East. There are no fish in the Great Salt Lake, only some algae and shrimps that can withstand high salinity. But there are many precious wild birds such as pelicans, herons, cormorants and terns living on the water."

The Utah State Capitol is also a place worth visiting. The Capitol Building is quite large and is the most important administrative seat of the Utah state government. Many of the designs in the building are quite interesting. You can apply to visit here, but it is quite difficult.
The Utah State Government Building is a majestic landmark in Salt Lake City. It covers a large area and has a large lawn in front. I saw a foreign couple taking wedding photos when I went there.
The interior of the building has marble walls, floors, stairs, and columns. There are intricate paintings on the dome and many sculptures in the corners of the hall... No wonder it is called the most luxurious and spectacular state government in the United States.

Canyonlands National Park is a collection of sandstone towers, canyons, etc. formed by years of river erosion and wind, frost, rain, and snow erosion. The Colorado River and its tributaries cut the entire park into four parts, making it one of the most famous erosion areas in the world. It is famous for its dangerous peaks and rugged rocks. It was officially built as a park in 1964, covering an area of 1,366 square kilometers. The park is divided into three parts. The northernmost one with the entrance near the town of Moab is called the Sky Island Area, the southernmost one is called the Needle Scenic Area, and the westernmost one is called the Maze Scenic Area. This is a wild landscape of vast proportions, wide open and closed. Canyonlands National Park has a vast territory, and the landscape is vast and vast, with eight wilderness areas and nine hills. In the park, there are terraces, canyons and other landscapes named according to their shapes, colors and various characteristics, such as Golden Staircase, Elephant Gorge, Devil's Pile, Tianxian Island, Doll Rock, Tapestry Rock, Horseshoe Valley, as well as spectacular platforms, stone Array etc. Animals include deer, fox, and coyote. It is a huge, open and closed wilderness scenery. There are no roads here. The so-called roads are all trails that can only be accessed by four-wheel drive off-road vehicles. It is recognized as one of the most difficult areas for humans to enter in the entire United States.
I think it's OK. It's not too far from Arch Park, so you can visit both parks together. The scenery is similar to the Yellow River Grand Canyon in China and the big bend of Qiankun Bay, but it has many bends, so it looks more spectacular. It's very remote and there are few tourists.

This was our first stop when we arrived in Salt Lake City. We have friends who have lived in this area for many years. This is where the first Mormon settlers arrived. There are many monuments describing this history, and there is also a visitor center with a short film about this history.
It was a very good trip, suitable for the whole family. The scenery and environment were nice, and parking was also convenient. I will come again next time.
