Arches National Park, in Moab, Utah

This park lies atop an underground salt bed that is basically responsible for the arches, spires, balanced rocks, sandstone fins and eroded monoliths of this fantastic park.



We came to this park to, of course, see the Arches. We did not leave disappointed.



The picture below is of the windows arches. As you can see they look like windows........



Some hikes are longer than others to get to see the arches, but all are truly worth it!

The picture below is of Delicate arch. We hiked the day before to the arch. We forgot our camera so we had to go back the next day and go to the lower level to look up to get the picture of the arch. It was a great hike, difficult for me, but I am SO glad that I did it. Well worth it.

The picture below is of Landscape arch. A huge chunk of this arch fell in 1991. It was 60 feet long and ll feet wide and was 4 feet thick. Since then they closed the area to visitors walking under the arch. This arch is 306 feet across. Hard to tell from a picture isn't it?

It can get very hot on some of the hikes, so make sure you carry lots of water with you and drink it often. It would not be fun to get heat stroke and miss out on your visit to the Arches.

See ya down the road !
