Moab - Arches National Park








We arrived in Moab, Utah on Monday evening, July 13.  On Tuesday, we drove through Arches National Park and did some short walks to see some of the amazing sandstone formations.  It really looks like another world.  It is so hot in Moab at this time of year that hiking is not recommended mid-day.  Keeping with my goal of finding a place for the kids to swim every day, we found the Moab town pool and spent some time there in the middle of the day.  We went back to Arches in the early evening and it was still 100 degrees.  We did a couple of hikes, one to see Delicate Arch (although we did not hike all the way to that arch because of the heat) and another in a somewhat shaded area.  We hiked at dusk, witnessed the sunset over Arches, and got back to our car as darkness fell.  I'm running out of adjectives to use to describe the things we've been seeing - beautiful, gorgeous, spectacular, breathtaking.  It's all amazing!
