Delicate Arch sunset, Mesa Arch sunrise, the secret False Kiva, maybe 3 of the most representative scenes of western states. I carefully planned the schedule of my limited 3 days time spent there. Even tho I felt very blessed with the perfect weather, but for some special spots, I had to track back before or shortly after the sunset for the concern of security even tho I brought GPS and enough food in case I got lost, comforting myself that I was saving it for next time. Anyhow, they totally exceeded my expectation still.

Even though a short 5-day road trip is still far away from enough to explore and digest the magnificence of this promised land, it definitely served as a good teasing for my eyes and heart.

Travel is nothing but a series of moments that pass you by all too quickly, you’re gonna open your heart to feel it. And a journey that doesn’t change you isn’t a journey at all.

Not surprisingly, I went back to this promised land only 4 months later, experienced something that is so different yet still wildly pretty. Stay tuned for vol. 2.
