Spring Break Road Trip Day 7-Arches National Park

Our final spot on our Spring Break Rocks Tour was Arches National Park north of Moab, Utah. It was our 4th park that we visited using Elizabeth's free National Park Pass for 5th graders! 




This is when Jeremy and the kids climbed up into Double Arch. 


This rock is called Balanced Rock. 

Behind us in this picture is the "Landscape Arch." 


A family photo at the Double Arch. It was huge!

I think this was Turret Arch. 

The "Windows" Arches. 

Landscape Arch. Very huge! 



Balanced Rock

Very pretty snow covered mountains in the distance. 


One of the windows. 

The windows up close. They are very huge!

Landscape Arch

WAY behind us in this photo, you can see the "Delicate Arch." It's the most famous arch. It's the one on Utah's license place. This is the "viewpoint." The next day, we took the long hike (3 mile round trip)  out to see it up close! 


Another at balanced rock.

This was hiking out in the Devil's Garden area. This is where the Landscape Arch is. Elizabeth was done for the day as you can see. 


Another picture of the Delicate Arch from a distance.

Some pretty views while driving. 

Pretty views. 

This area is called "Park Avenue." There are rocks lining the sides of a valley that remind people of tall buildings. The boys walked the mile through the "skyscrapers."
