We got out early to head to Arches National Park. We took lots of water and sunscreen. It's warm here, but not hot, but the sun can get to you in a hurry. It's very dry so we are trying to stay hydrated. David is my camera toting person. I have my Nikon D3100 and NikonD50. The D50 has a 300 telephoto lens on it and it's heavy. Of course I have my cell phone. It won't work as a cell phone, but it works great taking pictures!
I'll post the photos with comments!

I didn't think I would make it back from the hike to Sand Arch. You walk through deep red sand. At one point, the sand was much deeper than it had been. When I started walking in it, I got vertigo. The whole canyon was spinning! Fortunately, it stopped when I got past the deeper part. Only problem was, we had to come back that way. Vertigo struck again!

I had to see one more arch....Landscape Arch. It's a 3/4 mile hike listed as moderately easy. I don't know who decided moderate, but I would like to tell them no, it's not moderate. It was a touch hike up and down a steep hill and then in a bunch of sand. Arch was beautiful, though.
On the way back to the truck, David remarked that there were kids locked in an RV!
Look closely at the door. FAKE!
I'm so tired by now I just laugh. Then he tells me there is a dog shut up in an RV!
We've see that dog everywhere
Now for the most famous arch. It's Delicate Arch and it's the one on the Utah license plates:
We hiked up here early in the morning. It truly is a beautiful arch!
Tomorrow is Canyonlands National Park!
There's a better day down the road!
