This is Kachina bridge as seen from the road.
We camped in Natural Bridges’ little campground, and got up early to hike around a little bit before driving to Moab.
A panorama of the Owachomo Bridge, the largest of the bridges. You can see Nancy underneath it.
Balanced Rock.
We found an RV campground in the middle of Moab and made a half-day tour of Arches National Park.
The trail leading to the Windows section.
We went for a couple of quick hikes around the arches, starting at the Windows section.
The hills have eyes.
The Windows trail has a number of large arches.
The hike to Delicate Arch is mostly slickrock.
We then made the 3-mile roundtrip hike to Delicate Arch.
The final bend before Delicate Arch.
The trail doesn’t offer much scenery until the very end.
Iconic. License plate-ish.
There are signs advising visitors not to be “arch hogs” and stand under the arch, so as not to interfere with people taking pictures.
Didn’t matter; one hippie dude was camped out underneath it the whole time.
The Fiery Furnace viewpoint.
We did a couple more short walks and viewpoints as the light started fading.
A view of the La Sal Mountains.
We wished we could have spent more time in the park, but we set a pretty ambitious itinerary, with mountain biking in Moab tomorrow.
