An arch in the making!
Once again, pictures just don’t depict the incredible geological features. Arches NP has over 2,000 arches both small and immense. It was very interesting to see the established arches and also view the arches in the process of forming.
We did the fun 3 mile round trip hike to Delicate Arch and back. It is an iconic image. You may recognize it as the arch on the Utah state license plate. It looks small and delicate, but when you actually reach it on the hike you realize it is quite large. Its 52 feet talk to be exact! Once you reach the top of the viewing area it was super fun to just watch everyone wanting to take it in. This wasn’t a glance and go destination. There was a plein aire artist capturing the image, people were eating their lunch up there, and others were just sitting and gazing. It was a happy place. We all need a little happy these days!
Next up we enjoyed a picnic lunch in the most unique picnic grounds ever, dining among the fins of Arches.
Today we head to the southern portion of Canyonlands. We are going to give boondocking a try!
