Our next National Park was Arches. Here we played in the arches climbing rocks and doing some hiking. It was an enjoyable day.
 |
| Ripley passed the Arches |
 |
| the formations all had names, but we did not agree with all of them |
 |
| this is the North and South Window as seen from our campground |
 |
| this is a cairn that marked the trails, your next move will be in sight of this cairn |
 |
| these were part of the Courthouse along Park Avenue |
 |
| this was the back of the Courthouse |
 |
| they called these the Three Gossips, I called them the three kings |
 |
| Balanced Rock, but what about the rock on the left side, it is balancing too. |
 |
| the North Window, much more impressive closeup |
 |
| see how much bigger it gets as you get closer, Hi Guy |
 |
| this was Turret Arch but the rocks around it look like a dog |
 |
don't be fooled, there are more people in these area, I just made Guy stand
Till they had all moved |
 |
| Guy being very macho |
 |
| over at Turret Arch, Guy posed in the center |
 |
| small cave in the area |
 |
| at a view point looking over Arches |
 |
| a collared lizard stop to pose for us |
 |
| the Fiery Furness, you must have a ranger guide to hike in this area |
 |
| Sandstone Arch tucked amongst the other rock formations |
 |
| we didn't see the name for this arch, it was across from Sandstone Arch |
 |
| another arch tucked in the rock formations, this one on top |
 |
| Devil's Garden, amazing how many parks have a devil something |
 |
| we stopped at Castle Creek Winery for a tasting, thank goodness it was open |
 |
| the Colorado River outside of Moab |
 |
| looking through the North Window |
 |
I climbed up the rocks too, Guy said three months ago I would
not have climbed them, I said I hurt less now |
