Arches National Park

Since we retired, we have come to southern Utah near the end of our winter travels. For the fourth time, we are in Moab, Utah to visit Arches National Park. We love it here - the red rock, the fascinating scenery wherever you look and the wonderful hiking and photography. The morning following our arrival, we toured the park with Gerry and Dia. It was a cloudy day but the sun peeked out occasionally. We hiked a couple of trails and signed up for a long hike with a ranger in the firey Furnace on Sunday. There are lots of people in town despite the cool temps because it is the start of Easter Jeep Week. You would not believe the number of fancy and beatup jeeps around town as they set off for trails in the canyons an slickrock around here. Most return at the ned of the day covered with red mud and dirt.
