Arches National Park

Seeing more of this fascinating nature we drove to the Arches National Park to Moab and enjoyed a beautiful sunset at the Delicate Arch.

The next day Michael and I did a longer trek at the Devils Garden Trailhead. The landscape with so many different arches – Landscape Arch, Double O Arch, Navajo Arch, Tunnel Arch, and Window Arch, etc. – was just mind blowing.

In the back we saw already snow caps of the La Sal Mountains and in the night it got already pretty cold.

It is just incredible what water, ice, extreme temperatures and underground movements can form. Surreal shapes of arches, spires, balanced rocks, sandstone fins and eroded monoliths is the result of the underground salt bed and time of erosion. It is just fascinating!
