We arrived at Arches National Park around 3 p.m. (Dave and Ellen got there around noon). We mostly just settled in and relaxed, and walked around a little bit on Saturday. On Sunday we took a couple hikes to see some arches, and finished the day with a campfire and s’mores. Monday morning we took one more hike, then got back on the road. It was a very beautiful and relaxing trip. I particularly liked the juxtaposition of the red rocks and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The drive to get there from Denver is also really beautiful. We might have to go back someday.
