Arches

Arches National Park contains the greatest concentration of natural arches in the world, over 2,000. Only a few dozen of these (although the most significant) can be seen from the road, many more from the hiking trails. After spending some time in the Visitors Center, where they have an excellent movie describing the geology of the region, we spent a couple hours hitting the main view points. Shortly after leaving we got caught in the strongest downpour of the trip, complete with close lightning and thunder. We had to pull over to let the storm pass. While roadside, Shauney made lunch and the kids looked up what happens to people in an RV that gets struck by lightning. Chickens! The drive to Bryce was six hours of nearly constant rain. We arrived after 8pm, too late to cook in camp, so we went out for steak dinner, finally arriving at camp after 10pm.
