Arches
Landscape Arch
Hiking at night in the Devils Garden of Arches National Park, star gazing on a boulder next to Dark Angel, and waking up with the morning light in the middle of these beautiful sandstone formations was just amazing.
We spent the morning exploring the several arches, running and jumping around the huge playground, full of boulders and strange rock formations.
We then drove to the nearby Canyonlands National Park, and down the Island in the Sky. A short visit that hardly gave us enough time to grasp the immensity of these landscapes.
We had ten to fifteen days to spend in Utah before getting to San Francisco, and wanted to visit most of the National Parks in Utah, hike in the Grand Canyon, and join the Canyonneering week-end. After driving 130 km in the Arches and Canyonlands, we took the road all the way to Monument Valley, 350 km more further South.
