although there were still some long stretches of nothing...
Elaine drove, and it took us about two and a half hours to get our first view of the Arches red sandstone landscape.
Our first stop didn;t have any arches but was pretty impressive none the less, it was called "Park Avenue"
We took a trek down into the canyon
Driving on there were lots of sandstone columns and balancing stones, some needed a little help....
Our first actual arch.
It was a lot bigger than you might think.
Goggles!
This one's called the "delicate" arch.
Although this one looks more delicate.
As well as over 2000 arches there are also things called "hoodoos" ?
and some great views
Early evening we left Arches and drove to Canyonland National Park for quick visit. Very Grand Canyon looking.
Then off to Dead Horse State Park for the sunset
Along with a few other people.
Then it was off to Moab and the hotel for the night. Tomorrow Aspen.
