It doesn't look like we get to go mountain biking on slickrock trail, but we spent a great afternoon at Arches National Park with the help of a rental car!! This is a very remote park with no services, but amazing scenery!! We only did one major hike out to landscape arch, which is one of the longest arches in the world (longer than a football field). It was around 30 degrees out so we got our exercise on this one!! The rock formations here are very unique. There are arches, windows, fins and needles, all caused by erosion over millions of years. Most of the rock here is really high in iron content, so they are a beautiful shade of red. The junipers and pines are a brilliant green so contrast nicely against the rock.
The second picture is a window, rather than an arch. If you look carefully at the size of the people in the picture you
get a good idea of the massive size of some of these rock formations. A lovely place for an afternoon drive!!
