\n \t<\/a>\n\t\t <\/div>\n \nDriving in to this isolated park from Curecanti NRA, we had the sense that there was something special here. Sure, it’s not as grand as the other national park with a canyon in its name, but there is a lot of drama and sightseeing to do here. And did I mention the dandelions? They were the size of a baseball here.<\/p>\n
