The transition from a lush green landscape to an arid one was no more apparent than at Arches National Park. We were in Red Rock Country. Simply stunning.

We arrived on the 10th, in the afternoon, and only got a quick glimpse of Arches before we had to get to our campsite and set up. We came back on the 11th and spent the whole day in the park, which featured a 5.5 hour hike that covered about 8 miles (~12.9 km). The scenery is so unbelievable that after a little while you get jaded. Of course, that didn’t stop us from coming back on the 12th for another glimpse.

I took 168 pictures over the course of about 9 hours in the park. I tried to edit so you only get 12. I hope you have broadband.
