Arches
We drove 8+ hours from lander to moab after a half day climbing yesterday, arriving around 10. This was the longest day of driving on our trip so far. It was a long drive but beautiful going through the flaming gorge of southern WY.
This morning we entered Arches national park. The temperature difference is staggering - around 100 here. I have never drank so much warm water, there's almost no way to keep it cold once its in a bottle. The geology here is amazing with all of the spires and arches. Currently we have taken a hiking break to setup our camp and plan on hiking out to the famous delicate arch at sunset tonight. The picture is of this arch from a viewing area across the canyon. It's amazing how small it looks and we are excited to sit beneath it tonight.
