Friday & Saturday, April 2 & 3rd, 2010

It was a cold morning so we were slow in getting going. Left close to 11:30 to go to Arches National Park. Took a lunch and were planning on making a day of it.

Tunnel Arch
We had to do a bit of hiking to see some of these arches, but it was all worth the effort.

Pine Tree Arch - see the tree thru the arch

There is some very pretty trees throughout this country and I love to snap them against the sky.

Landscape Arch - 330' from end to end

The La Sal Mountains in distance

I liked this rock formation and the different colors.

North Window Arch

See the closeup of the top of North window corner

See the two small rocks in the grove on the right.

That is there the closeup is. I don't know what is holding the arch up there, but I didn't feel real comfortable standing under it.

Double Windows

Double Arch

These are just picts of neat rock formations and balanced rocks.

See the climbers - one mid way up and the other, a girl, at the bottom. In the next picture they are both at the top and he is standing on the very tip. We watched them climb up and down.

This is the Courthouse towers

Note the decorative thingies just up from the bottom
