Yesterday, we drove to and around Moab and then went into Arches National Park. We hiked a couple of short, easy trails. It was pretty warm – in the 80’s. Words can not describe what we saw, so I’ll just show you pictures. We weren’t able to hike to the most famous arch – Delicate Arch – it was only a mile to get to it but it was rated strenuous and was just too much to risk with my knees and heat intolerance, so we went to the overlook which was closer to hike to. We also decided we needed more time, so we stopped at some campgrounds in Moab and we were able to add 2 more days there, which will be much closer to go into Canyonlands.
Delicate Arch is one of the most photographed things in America. It is so iconic, it is on the Utah license plate.
