Arches National Park

Arches did not disappoint....it is beautiful.  It was also very hot, we had to take it in two trips, early morning, and later in the evening.  We've loaded an album with all our pictures, just click on our profile, and on the album "6-28-2013".  Rock formations are 300 million years old made by actions of the Colorado and Green Rivers. The Moab region is divided into four sections, the Arches, the Needles, Canyonlands, and the Maze.  Each is distinctly different.  Hollywood has filmed many movies in the immediate area.

Thank you Sherry and Dink for the safari hats, here I am in mine

This gives you a good idea of the scale of this place - see the car?

The heat here is horrible.  Dry or not, it depletes energy, and makes doing anything a real challenge.  Other than that, we love it here.  People are super nice, lots of things to see and do. 

The heat is so bad, we've had to change our plans to go to Las Vegas, they are expecting 110 to 120 over the next 10 days.  No thank you!  We will probably head north east for a while.
