Arches and lots Sand. The word on the streets of Moab is that parking is tough in Arches especially the weekend of the Moab half marathon. Since we are driving the rig into the park, I wanted to get there by 7. When we arrived at the first hike, the delicate arch, an hour after the scheduled time there were… ton of empty spots. The delicate arch hike and view was pretty cool. Taking arch photos is challenging because you need to angle your camera so your head blocks the fools standing in the center with there hands over their head.
We then made our way to the devils playground area to see the Sand Arch, Tapestry Arch, and Broken Arch where we lucked out with a great spot. This loop is completely underrated. The sand arch isn’t much, but it is located in a canyon that is covered in pink sand. Bryce had a field day playing in the sand, which made this arch my favorite spot. The hike to the broken arch only had a few people, which was a welcome relief. When we went through the broken arch toward the tapestry arch, it felt like we were the only people hiking this beautiful path through the desert.
After 7 miles of desert hiking, Danielle reluctantly agree to see some more arches. The double arch and windows view were overrun with people. The only place in Moab that had more people than the double arch was the City Market Grocery store…
Awesome!!
