Arches National Park

So far this is one of our favorite National Parks.  It's really amazing and everyone should see it at least once in their lifetime.  Jack had a blast hiking too!  We hiked on a small trail to get a better look at Delicate Arch.  We actually are very grateful that this park is open 24 hours for those with the National Park Pass (which we have).  When we arrived in Moab, on a Saturday night (I'm sure everyone from Utah is laughing at us right now) we couldn't find a room unless we wanted to pay $150+ a night.  Nope!  We almost drove home instead, but we really wanted to see the Park.  Dean found out they were open 24 hours, so we parked in there and slept in the truck.  We're not 100% sure you can actually do that, but no one hassled us.   It's been a long, long time since I've seen THAT many stars in the sky!

We only walked a little ways in, no hiking here.  We'll come back and do this hike when we're more prepared and in better shape!  (and don't have to carry a toddler)

I think this is the Courthouse Tower, but not 100% sure.  It's hard to remember all the names afterwards.
