Day 54 Beautiful Arches NP

Yesterday on our way out of Arches we stoped to see a few more things that we had missed. In the pictures here is the list. 1 Rock climbers on rocks. 2 Parade of Elephants. 3 Barb in South Window Arch. 4 Double Arch. 5 Balanced Rock. 6 Fisher Tower. We picked up groceries and gas in Moab and headed for Interstate 70. We stayed last night at Colorada River Island Acres (Colorada State Park). It is located just west of Grand Junction, Colorada. The weather had been great in Utah, but today the skies are still clear, but colder and windy. Heading east on I70 today.

Day 53 Still at Arches NP

Yesterday we had decided that we would clean up the camper and just rest. By 2 pm we were done so we went for another hike. We were just going to see Landscape arch but wound up seeing three more arches for a total of 4.5 miles of walking. In the first picture is Landscape arch. A large chunk fell out of it in 1991. In the next 3 pictures is Wall Arch, Navajo Arch, and Partition Arch. We were tired again when we returned to same campsite as night before.

Day 52 More Arches NP

We have been out here several times and the 2 things we wanted to accomplish was to camp in Devils Garden campground and hike up to Delicate Arch. Delicate Arch is the most famous arch. Well yesterday we completed the 4 mile round trip hike to Delicate Arch. This is a strenuous, uphill, over slickrock and along the edge of cliffs hike. We were pretty tired by the time we got back, but we made it. Still haven't seen any mountain lions. We just registered for another night in this campground. In the pictures below, the first 2 are Delicate Arch. The third picture is of Barb and cairns. These are the guideposts for the trails. The fourth picture is Skyline arch. The fifth picture is called Fiery Furnace, and the last picture is sunset from our campsite.
