  In between our trip into Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park we took care of some routine chores such as grocery shopping (an hour away in Grand Junction, CO) and fueling up both vehicles (15 miles away in Green River, UT).  On a return trip from getting fuel Cyndee, on a whim, said: "Keep driving down the road past the campground and let's see what the canyon looks like."
