Day 12 – Arches National Park

We finally went to Arches National Park. Because of the heat, we woke up early and went straight to the Delicate Arch, an hour hike from the nearest parking.

It was quite busy on the trail and at the arch, but people there were mindful of others and self disciplined, queuing to take a picture under the arch, and always letting 30s between each group for allowing for undisturbed pictures to be taken.

We stayed there half an hour, took our picture under the arch, and hiked back to the car under a burning sun.

And of course, as with all the other national parks, the kids completed their junior ranger program, the 5th one.

We enjoyed a relaxing lunch and afternoon at the hotel, alternating between arcade games and water slide.

We had diner at a local brewery, very nice grilled and smoked food.

This is our last day in Moab! Tomorrow we head west. More parks to visit!
