Arches National Park, Moab, Utah






December 17&18



I can honestly say that this is one of the most unique and beautiful places on the face of the Earth. Compressed salt under layer of sandstone have created these pieces of art by God (also water, time and gravity). My advice is to come in the winter when no one is here, no lines, and no 100* temps. The sun warmed us as we hiked and ate PB&Js in the parking lot. Moab has a great brewery, of course it is three-two beer, but it sure is tasty, without the heavy buzz. Here is Meg doing her arch impression and this Double Arch shot was taken in the exact spot River Phoenix stood as a Boy Scout in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The Landscape Arch is over a football field long and a 60+ foot piece broke off the bottom right side in '91.
