Nobody really thinks about the west too often. I mean, truly, there is not much "industrialization", not too many people except a few cowboys here and there, and your typical hiker going off the trail. But it is a land of the free. It's where people go to fulfill their passion, to be "one with nature." To embrace their wild side. Perhaps it is simply residual excitement, but after my trip out west, my wanderlust is at an all time high. It is all so grand. Traveling to Utah, we visited two of the famous national parks; Arches and Canyonlands. Take a look on the map of Utah. The two parks take up a tiny section of the south eastern side of the state. Yet standing there, on the edge of the canyon, looking out for miles and miles and miles of land in this national park, makes one realize how insignificant they are, That;s not necessarily a bad thing, but there is so much more to life than what you see looking out your window. There is so much to be seen, so much to be explored, and so much to be discovered.
