Arches National Park



We spent all day exploring Arches National Park. There is a higher concentration of natural arches here than any where else in the world. We didn't begin to see all of them. Plus there were plenty of interesting rock formations. We saw more tourists than we have so far--must be spring break!

I've got a picture of Stephanie age 6(?) pretending to hold up Balancing Rock. I've always wanted to get back to that area. The rock art is amazing.

You look cold! I remember it being a bit of a hike to delicate arch, but I noticed you left your pedometers at home.

We chose the shorter hikes since there were so many of them, and Delicate Arch wasn't one of them. And yes, it was the coldest day we've had.

Sorry you are cold! Still better than visiting on summer, though, in my opinion. What a great trip! That was Berkeley's favorite family vacation spot. I'd love to go again.
