Spring Break...Day 1

I know that there is no reason to complain....but I was in desperate need of a break from school and work!! I was so grateful when Joe was able to come with me on a road trip. We left on Monday to go to Moab. I have ALWAYS wanted to go to the National Arches since I was in elementary and saw the Delicate Arch. You can imagine my excitement!!

We hiked the garden trail...


Landscape Arch is the longest Arch in Arches National Park, measuring 306 feet from base to base. Doesn't it look amazing!?!


The beautiful snow capped mountains...


Some of the red rock along the trail...


The trail started out so nice...there were distinct nice trails...and then we decided to venture further...what a mistake!! Actually, it was really pretty, just crazy climbing up the sand covered rock piles...


Just outside of Devil's Arch...




By the time we finished this hike, our day was almost over...and I was exhausted!! Next time, I will plan better and have a couple of days to enjoy the hikes and arches. We went out to Manuel's, which my home teacher recommended...so good!!
