Arches National Park

April 24, 2015
We decided to go ahead with our plans to visit Canyonlands and Arches National Park.
We were able to make the necessary arrangements for Grandpas funeral which will be on Monday, May 3rd. I am not sure it was the best decision emotionally but everyone encouraged us to keep our plans, and here we are.

Our goal was was to head to Arches National Park. It is north of Moab and has over 2000 arches. It is hard to image the forces that went into creating these landforms over the last 100 million years. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Broken Arch- yes, that is Kate on top giving me a heart attack!

Kate and I took the strenuous hike to see Delicate Arch. I made it!

Arches was really an amazing place. We were all glad to have Kate as our tour guide. After dinner in Moab, we headed to Green River about an hour north of Moab. More adventures tomorrow!
