Arches and Mesa Verde
PSA: I figure mirroring my photography posts here might be of interest.
There are some nice arches in Arches National Park, but the Double Arch is the big one of the set. The scale of the thing has to be seen to be believed. Fortunately, there are usually people around to help with the sense of perspective:
I mentioned that there were ruins at Mesa Verde you could get up close and personal to without a tour. Spruce Tree House, near the park's main center, is one of them. This is, again, a kiva. I told you they were like Starbucks. ;)
