Arches National Park

For me this was the highlight of my Utah National Park tour. Arches are pretty cool, and some of the arches here are quite grand!

Located about 24 miles south of Moab, Utah on US 191.

We went to pick up my daughter who was in New Mexico. Instead of taking the freeway all the way down and all the way back, we decided to take the long way down and visit some of the great places along the way.

We left home around 8:30 a.m. and by early afternoon we were at Arches National Park. I had been here several times before in my youth, and Mrs. viii and I had visited here one time together with some friends before we were married.

This was the first time for any of our children. They thought that it was a wonderful place. There are plenty of interesting rock formations and wildlife to see. There are hikes of varying levels of difficulty, all of which take you to some fantastice scenery.

The family loved our little adventure at Arches.

When I was a teenager, I watched a documentary on television about Arches National Park. I have wanted to go since! It looks so beautiful, like nothing else on the planet.

it’s an other-worldly experience.
