Aug 18 am


The morning of Aug 18 was nice and cool for our visit to the Arches National Monument.

The various formations and arches have multiple names - my captions may not correspond to any of them.

We didn't see the two most viewed arches, delicate arch (actually Ann saw this from 1 mile and I saw it from about 1/2 mile but it wasn't close enough for a good picture - in the first image you can see the arch as the leftmost of the 'candidates on the platform').

There had been some heavy rain in the park because some of the paths to the arches were muddy. One of the paths had been washed out a few days earlier and we had to take a detour path (it was the arch that is the last one shown).


The Arches National Park website has a good write up on how the arches are formed.
