Day 3: Arches National Park, UT


We were happily surprised at how nice the campground was that we drove into after dark last night. We walked around the sites and some of the boys scootered around and up and down, too! Off we were to Arches National Park in Moab, UT. The weather was warm and the drive lasting about 4 hours from Blanding to Moab. We saw a temple in Monticello near the highway, about 5 turkey vultures in the treetops of one tree, many farms, and many natural red rock formations. Arches National Park was HOT, so we chose to drive and see the sights. Our one long hike was to see the North Window arch. We saw elephant arches, the turret arch, and the balancing rock. Now off the family in Spanish Fork. Yummy hamburgers, hot high 80s temperatures, and family.
