Moab, UT

Moab Utah is the gateway to both the Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park.  We spent one day exploring Arches.  The Arches is to the northeast of the town of Moab, UT.

This is the Delicate Arch - the trade mark of the Arches NP.  If you look very closely you will see people standing underneath the arch.

This is Balanced Rock.  It has a path you can hike right up to it.  It looks like it will come down on top of you at any minute.  (I can't figure out how to turn the picture so...I will leave it up to you to twist your head :)  )

The Arches is a beautiful NP with arches and pillars of rock everywhere.

To the northwest of Moab is the Canyonlands NP.  This NP is one with wide vista from high overlooks into ancient eroded basins and river eroded land.

Everything in both the Arches and Canyonlands is desert, rock, limited plant life - mostly plants that require minimum water.  We have yet to see anything moving except......

AND.......
