Arches National Park - Day 1
The weekend before I left for Chicago Nick and I went down to Arches and Canyonlands for the weekend. We left early on Friday hoping to get a first-come campsite, since everything in Moab is booked for ages, but after driving around for a few hours gave up. We booked a motel an hour away (did I mention there are only three towns between Provo and Moab - four and a half hours and three towns?) and spent the day at Arches doing "easy" hikes.
This trail had increasing difficulty - and boy did we take advantage of that...
Our first Arch!
La Sal Mountains.
After losing the trail in one direction, we doubled back to Landscape Arch:
Then attempted the trail in the other direction:
Basically making our trip 9 miles instead of 4.
But we saw lots of Arches :)
