Beautiful Arches

This morning we visited Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. The beauty of this place is stunning. As usual, my photos don’t do it justice. One of these days, I should take a photography class, because memory fades, but beautiful digital photos do not. 

Double Arch

Skyline Arch

It was blazing hot inside the park, which made it more difficult to get around, so we did not actually hike to any of the arches (5 years ago we definitely would have), but had to rely on viewpoints. In addition to arches, there were many other formations resembling such diverse things as “3 Gossips,” “Parade of Elephants.” and “The Courthouse.”  Also, several formations were called “Balancing Rock,”  with one rock precariously sitting atop another.

Parade of Elephants (takes a little imagination)

Not sure the name - but I love it!

It was an educational morning, and delightful, except for the heat.

Three Gossips

After leaving the park, we drove to Park City, in Northern Utah, just because we had been hearing about it for years, and had never been here, although we had skied in the area. It’s hard to judge the town, though, because we got caught in a sudden rain shower before we could walk around. Hopefully, before we leave in the morning, we will have a chance to check it out.

And then, it’s off to the Northwest!
