Arches National Park

After setting up at Spanish Trails RV park in Moab we set off exploring Arches National park.  We started at the visitor center talking to the Rangers and getting the lay of the park.  After watching the very informative video we headed out and up into the park. There were many view points and opportunities to stop and hike, the scenery is just breath-taking.

Among the many rock formations we found this one below that certainly looks like a person.

Arches National Park draws many visitors.  Some hike, others are photographers, and still others capture the beauty on canvas.

We ended the day at Courthouse Towers view Point, Lasalle Mountain.

The park is full of beautiful formations and unusual landscape.  We will return for a longer visit in the future.  At times we just wanted to sit and soak in the amazing beauty that God carved for all to see.  We would be remiss not thanking those that had the vision to protect the National Parks and those that work to keep them safe and clean for future generations.
