After leaving interstate 70 to head south down to Moab the wind picked up and a rain storm blew in. Deanne and Becky were in the rental car. I was driving the RV and trying to stay in my lane when the wind gusted sideways. Fortunately there was not much traffic on the road.
Next morning we headed into Arches National Park with our park visit reservations in hand. First stop, the Visitors Center for restrooms and gift shop.
Becky was delighted when her sisters got her this quilt pattern for a small wall hanging of Delicate Arch. This is a picture of a sample finished product.
Rock cliffs glowing red in the early morning sunshine.
Our first hike on the “Devils Garden Trail” started out chilly and got pretty warm by the time we got done. The trail goes to several scenic sites but the main goal is the thin “Landscape Arch”.

Our next hike was to Skyline Arch Trail. Jennie & Roni at Skyline Arch.
Sand Dune Arch Trail was next. Becky and Deanne navigate a narrow passage.
Delicate Arch Trail was longer and it was getting really hot so we didn’t go all the way to the Arch.
Balanced Rock.
Very tiny, in the center of this photo in the far distance are “The Three Gossips” which was our next stop. The Three Gossips are a 350′ high sandstone rock formation resembling 3 heads in conversation.

We went out to dinner in Moab after a long day of hiking and driving through Arches National Park. The onion rings were a big hit.
