It was nothing special. I went just to say I had been there. The port-a-potties were the worst I had ever been in. The entrance fee was a rip off. But all of the other tourists were polite and everyone took turns taking photos and standing on the monument, so nobody was walking into the middle of your picture. So that was nice. Don’t expect much and you’ll be fine. Go, take your photos, and head on to the next destination.

We were planning on spending part of the day at Arches and then heading over to Canyonlands, but we never made it out of Arches. The variety and number of arches was amazing and it was simply gorgeous. It was a bit stormy and cool in the earlier part of the day (I went in March 2007) but it cleared and warmed up as the day went on. The place seemed prehistoric and I would definitely recommend it.

I loved my drive through Monument Valley. We didn’t stay too long but we definitely took in the sights. It was a cloudy day with some rain but lovely overall.

it would be more fun if I could gamble freely!

The Grand Canyon was beautiful. We went to South Rim and the Grand Canyon National Park. Watched a lovely sunset that conquered the cloudy sky. The next day was cold and wet, the Canyon was filled with clouds. It was even snowing as we drove around the East Rim and out of the park. Gorgeous and well worth doing!
