Arches National Park, Moab, Utah

For those that don’t know, we are now in Las Vegas, in fact, I worked 40 hours last week! Our trip south was enjoyable, saw some VERY interesting things. Over the next few weeks, we will post some of those that we enjoyed.

Water and ice, extreme temperatures, and underground salt movement are responsible for the sculptured rock scenery of Arches National Park. There are over 2,000 cataloged arches in the area, ranging in size from 3-foot openings (the minimum considered to be an arch) to 306 feet, base to base. Today new arches are being formed and old ones destroyed by erosion, weathering, etc., gradually changing the landscape.


Just a view that shows some of the interesting formations within the Park.





This pic includes Balanced Rock, how would you like to be under it when it comes down? Yes, we were able to stand underneath it!










These arches are known as The Windows.









This area is known as the Cove of Caves, part is called Double Arch. Wow! The beauty of the seemingly carved forms is fantastic! We hope to go back and explore more of the Park soon.

This is Delicate Arch, probably the most photographed Arch of all.
