Moab & Arches

 We started the day with a scenic drive along potash Road which is parallel to the Colorado river. It really is a scenic drive as the red cliffs are on one side and the river on the other. We stopped at one point to watch some rock climbers. They were truly amazing to watch. We also stopped at a petroglyph spot. The reflections in the river made the drive beautiful.

We next went to a river trailhead where we got on our bikes. We rode 2 1/2 miles away from Moab before we turned around around and then we wrote all the way back to arches for a total of blank miles. Again, we followed the Colorado river.

At 12 o’clock, we parked outside of arches national park. For this park, you need an entry admission time. Our time was between 1 o’clock and 2 o’clock. If you miss your time, you will not be admitted. He ate some snacks and drink some water as we waited. It took us about 20 minutes in line to get inside the park and we went straight to the visitor to get our passport stamp – our usual routine. Armed with a map we drove the road to the end of the park, about 18 miles. This is our fifth Utah Park and it’s amazing to us how different they each are this park is known for all of its arches so we made several hikes for a total of 6 miles visiting different arches throughout the day, I think was broken arch. We hiked all around that arch and in the distance we could see the scallop mountains. As it got later in the day, we headed over to the north and south windows and turret arch to see the sunset. It was a beautiful sunset and I don’t believe our cameras caught the true effect. It was here we also also saw the Wolff house which was A small house about 1500 ft.² were six people lived. Thomas Wolff built the house in 1906 and lived there for two years before he moved his family into Moab. It was amazing to see this history. As we left the park, it was really dark and we could see the shadows Of the formations as we drove out. After such And active day we decided to go out to eat. I’m headed to And had a delicious meal. We have a salad with roasted tomato dressing and Candied pecans and Gorgonzola cheese. We had the best cheesy garlic bread and for a pizza we had mushrooms and sausage. Apparently they make their own mozzarella here, pizza crust and possibly the sausage. We also got a picture of apricot Heights, which was New to us, but very very good we went home tired and full and happy
