~Arches National Park~

 It just keeps getting better and better!   The day after we went to Canyonlands we went to Arches National Park.  The minute we entered the park we knew it was going to be fantastic!   The park was SO busy being spring break so we decided to drive to the end of the park and work backwards.  The drive was SO beautiful!




 We parked at Devil's Garden Trailhead and did hikes to the Landscape Arch, Pine Tree Arch and also the Tunnel Arch.

 Tunnel Arch
 Pine Tree Arch

 Landscape Arch
 Skyline Arch
 Then we went to Sand Dune Arch - this was such a cool one as we had to walk through very soft, red sand!  We took off our shoes and enjoyed the coolness of the sand as we walked to this arch.
 That is "me" standing on the top of that rock.  I had to be "boosted" up so that I could climb up it!

 This is the Delicate Arch.
 Cove of Caves
 This is the "Windows" section of the park.  This was so beautiful.  This is the North Window.

 And this is the South Window
 
 And this is what it looks like when you are far away from them. VERY cool!
 Another cave.  Some people climb right into all these caves.
 This is the "Double Arch" - so neat.
 Then on to "Balanced Rock" - wow - how does that stay up there???
 Or that one??
These rock formations are fabulous!  What a fantastic day!
