Arches National Park



So far, I think my most favorite American state is Utah. And my current top three favorite national parks are: Zion National Park, Utah; Arches National Park, Utah; and the Iceland Parkway between Jasper and Banff. I just love the red dirt, I love the massiveness of the formations...it is fantastical! To think about how much power water has that it can create these formations. I also love seeing the tiny little desert flowers that are often so bright and growing so boldly.

It felt like a real treat to be able to be here today. We drove through the park, pulled off at as many view points as we could, took tonnes of pictures, and even enjoyed 3 different 30 minute hikes. Myra was very keen on the hiking..."so mommy, are we going to hike some more?...I love hiking"

Here are a "few" of our pictures in random order...
