Arches National Park




Monday we visited Arches National Park. We had hoped to take one of the ranger guided tours of the Fiery Furnace, but none were available until Tuesday afternoon. Not wanting to spend another day, we decided to guide ourselves. We spent the most time at the Windows area and looked at Twin Arch. I was amazed at the sheer size of the arches and how hard they were to climb and then get down once we got up.

In the heat of the afternoon, we hiked to Landscape Arch in the Devil's Garden area. We all think it should be called delicate arch instead of the one that is called Delicate Arch. Landon and I continued on another 1.2 miles to Double O Arch. It was a very difficult hike that was uphill all the way and crossed over some scary ledges. We were all worn out when we got back to the RV.

We finished our evening by eating dinner at the Moab Cafe. It was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the surprisingly pleasant Moab, Utah.
