Hi everybody! We have finally visited Arches National Park and it was really great! First we went and hiked around Balanced Rock, which was awesome because it really was balancing! After that we drove up to many arches and hiked to all of them. The major ones we hiked were North and South Windows, Double arch (which we climbed into), Skyline arch, Tunnel arch, Landscape arch and Delicate arch. Landscape arch was one of the coolest! It was as long as a football field, but only six feet thick. Delicate arch was also beautiful. It was an arch where one side was sitting on a huge stone looking like it could fall any minute. Every arch also had it own special look and scenery surrounding it. At the end (when we were at Delicate arch) we had a picnic dinner and the rocks glowed in the light of the setting sun! We are off to Canyonlands next. Enjoy!
