We started the day with about an hour drive to get to Arches National Park. Once we got there it was closed as it was full. The sign said come back in 3 to 4 hours. So we took the 5 mile drive to Moab. Our first stop was the Moab Information Center. We were given some great information and was able to sit in on a short video about the area. Interesting. After the Info Center we found a highly recommended local eating establishment, Milt’s Stop and Eat. Good ole fashioned cheeseburgers and onion rings and milk shakes. Yum!!
We still had some time until we could get into Arches. We traveled up the road and past Canyonlands and into Dead Horse Pointe State Park. It had some beautiful views. We visited the Visitor Center and then headed to Arches.

Our first stop at Arches was the Visitors Center. It was very busy, very warm, and we had Bree with us. I dropped Nancy off and found a parking space. When she was done, she texted me and I picked her up. Then we were on our way to drive through the park. It was very warm and we didn’t really want to walk too much. There were a lot of lookouts that we could get out for a few minutes, take some pictures and then back on our way. There was a lot to see. We focused on Balancing Rock, Sand Dune Arch, Salt Valley, Delicate Arch, Windows, Double Arch, and Turret Arch. Tomorrow is another travel day.
