Arches National Park

We started the day by picking up and heading over to Moab, a town about 50 miles SE of here. At this time of year, we haven't been making reservations at parks. When we got to Moab, everyplace was packed. After looking at maps and the campsite directory, it was evident that the best place to go was back to where we came from. So back we went to Green River. Arches may be the most photogenic park we've been to. Every turn in the road reveals another view of incredible beauty. It's mainly red sandstone cut and carved by water. The extent of the erosion makes one believe that the climate must have been different at some time, but it's also hard to think in terms of geological time. How many flash floods and gully washers occur in 10, 20, 50 or 100 million years? It certainly makes mankind seem insignificant. Unfortunately, the day was overcast and the blue sky which acts as backdrop was lacking. Balancing Rock, The Windows etc. are something to see.
