Tuesday, April 18

The campground at Arches is closed for renovation, but the park is very close to Canyonlands, so we were able to spend a day there hiking and drinking in the landscape.

We elected to do four short hikes for a total of about 6 miles.  This strategy is working well for us; instead of taking a day long hike in one part of the park, we can cover several areas and still get in some miles.

Today we saw Balanced Rock

Landscape Arch

Park Avenue

and Windows

You can see from the photos that we had a perfect day.

I’ll always remember the color of those rocks against that sky…magnificent!!
