May 8--Moab, Arches NP











We decided to visit Arches National Park today. We had covered it pretty well four years ago, but decided we wanted to make one more visit. We left the house before sunrise (6:00) this morning and drove to the Devils Garden trail in Arches NP. We hiked to Landscape Arch, Tunnel Arch, and other views.


We drove two jeep roads that start in Arches: Cache Valley and Willow Flat. Nice 4 rated roads but not as spectacular as the others we have done. We did have a nice view of Delicate Arch from the Cache Valley and saw many wildflowers. We are enjoying seeing the desert bloom. It's amazing how anything can grow in the sand and rock much less have beautiful blooms.


Back 'home' by 1:00 and resting in comfort. Picture 3 is Delicate Arch; picture 4 is Landscape Arch (306 feet).

  1. These pictures are amazing. I love the arches. I hope you're taking pictures of all the desert blooms you see. You should do a whole blog just on them...incredible!
