Near the entrance we were greeted by this rock formation. The sandstone rock has been eroded and what remains are columns of rock rising out of the desert.
This is called Balanced rock for obvious reasons. It looks like it shouldn't remain upright but somehow it does.
It's a short drive to Delicate arch where we saw this amazing arch standing in the desert. We hiked about a half mile uphill to get this view.
Another short drive and we hiked to Windows arches. Here we were able to hike under the arch and view this incredible structure.
Looking West from Windows we saw another rock formation with still another arch.
We hiked back to the car and continued our tour of the park. It's an incredible place and not to be missed when in Southeastern Utah.
Tonight we tour the little town of Moab and tomorrow we'll visit Canyon lands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park. Then after a night of rest we'll head to Mesa Verde Colorado,
