Arches National Park

We're heading home tomorrow:( But before we do I wanted to share with you some pictures from Arches National Park. Arches is located just north of Moab, Utah and is by far my favorite part of our trip! It was the perfect amount of hiking, picture taking and soaking up the amazing landscape that God created. We started the day by filling up our water bottles at what can only be described as a faucet in the mountain, here is a pic of it.


The water comes out of the mountain and is clean enough to drink. People in Moab go there to fill up gallon water jugs as their drinking water. It was pretty cool and we needed the water before headed into Arches.

Once we got to the park we checked in at the visitors center and looked around the gift shop and what not. Then we headed down the road to see all the amazing monuments and arches that it has to offer. Like I said before, if you ever get a chance to go to Arches National Park.. DO IT.. it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Canyonlands National Park is about an hour away from Moab so if you give yourself another day you can see that too, we didn't get a chance to this trip.

Anyways, hope you are having a wonderful week. We head to Dallas tomorrow for a 13 hour car ride (yuck!) and then back to Houston on Sunday! Here are some pictures from our trip to Arches.


In order from Top Left: Elephant Herd, Balance Rock,
North and South Windows and Kory and I at beginning.
Double Arch, we hiked about a 1/2 mile to get to this and then climbed inside of it, pretty awesome!

Landscape Arch, Part of this arch broke off in 1991 so I felt like it was a must to see considering if we come back it might not be there. We hiked 1.6 miles round trip to see this baby!

Have a wonderful weekend!
