A Walk In The Park - Arches National Park


OK. Arches National Park is really cool and different from any other landscape  we’ve seen. The colors are great and it is rock formation after rock formation.

We headed into the park before sunrise so we could get the soft morning light and we ended up with that and so much more. We were greeted at the trailhead by deer who meandered by us later as well. It’s not hard to spot the protected wildlife.

Our goal was to hike the Devil’s Garden/ Primitive loop. There are arch after arch and hoodoo after hoodoo. The trail required you – once you were off the groomed part- to seek the next stack of small rocks which were the trail markers. What a gas! We were treated by a trail that was walking along the top of huge boulders at times.

I promise we’ll post more pictures when we get to a good WIFI spot. The 3G tethering to the phone is slow like dial-up only I think it costs more. Here is a representative batch for today including Athena being as patient as she is capable of being.






More soon….
