Arches National Park, Moab UT - Best Trip So Far!!!

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

Delicate Arch

This is not a photograph out of a magazine or photoshopped, this is a picture I took with my little point and shoot camera.  This formation is called Delicate Arch.  It's the most popular destination in Arches National Park, so of course it was a busy trail, but well worth the 1.5 mile strenuous hike to get there.  This hike is ROUGH!  Straight up the side of slick rock and along some very narrow cliffs.  We got to the park at sunset, which put a beautiful orange glow on the rest of the park.  I wish we could have seen this arch at sunset, but the drive along with the difficult hike made the trip too long to get there that early.  Still, can't beat this view!  

After this hike we kept going, approximately 8 miles along other hikes.  These are just a few placed we saw:
