You Should Go There

Jess and I went to Moab for a few days after Thanksgiving, it was only a 5.5 hour drive out there which wasn't bad at all. We spent Friday afternoon and Saturday morning at Arches National Park, which if you have never been there is definitely worth the trip. There are over 2000 natural arches in the park and there are many that you can almost drive right up to. Some of them are huge, Landscape Arch is the largest in the world and spans over 300 feet.

There is of course probably the most famous arch called Delicate Arch, it is on the Utah license plates. We didn't hike all the way up to it this time, but it is pretty cool, even from far away.


The colors are incredible, especially at sunset. A lot of deep reds and oranges in the rocks.

Every single arch is extremely unique and different, many of them have lost large chunks out of them which dramatically changes how they look. There is also a lot of sand out there, as most of the rock formations are sandstone, we probably should have worn sandals.



It was a nice little get away, the weather was great, we ate some good food and had a great time together. So if you ever have a chance, I highly recommend going there, this is my third time and they have all been very cool.
