Arches National Park - Moab, Utah

We settled in and set up camp last night so this morning we cruised down town to re-stock the cupboards as they were looking a bit bare.  Town is quaint and we call this place the Queenstown of Utah - an adventure playground.

After lunch we head out the Arches National Park, only about 5 miles from town..... so here are today's pics.

Three Gossips.......& the coupe

Balanced Rock

The Happy Tourist

North & South Windows

Double Arch

The Delicate Arch

 

La Sal Mountains

Fiery Furnace

Pine Tree Arch - spot the little guy

Landscape Arch

Long switchbacks to enter the park

A bit more hiking today......although we did not go the 8km walk up to the Delicate Arch but even the upper view point was nearly a km uphill.  You can see heaps of people who did make the 8km walk standing underneath in the photo!  Good on them.    They say to allow 3 hours but even then it took us 4 hours and we missed the last hike of about 3 miles also....  I think we may be arched out for now.
