While visiting Donna’s brother in Huntington, we took the opportunity to drive a couple of hours down to Moab to see one of Donna’s nieces. As it so happens, there are a TON of amazing parks near Moab…so we stopped at one of them on our drive. We chose Arches National Park because, frankly, the scenery was positively stunning!!
Delicate Arch 
Wolfe Ranch 
Home Sweet Home….?? 
Cedar 
We thought this one looked like a bird
Since we only had one afternoon, we chose to hike a couple of the shorter trails in different areas of the park (rather than just one longer hike). We chose Windows Trail, Landscape Arch and Wolfe Ranch (with view of Delicate Arch). Driving between our hikes we saw so, so many breathtaking sights….too many to mention. If you have a chance to visit Arches, do it!!
A little Arches trivia for you: In 1991 part of the underside of Landscape Arch (the widest of the arches in the park) fell. The part that fell was 60 feet long, 11 feet wide and weighed somewhere around 180 tons. You used to be able to hike underneath Landscape Arch…but…not anymore!
