Arches National Park, Utah 19th June

Monday 19^th June

We left Grand Junction this morning and travelled about 60 miles west into Utah.

The plan was to visit Arches National Park where we’d been with our children about 20 years ago.

I have fond memories of the place and was not disappointed today…. It was awesome!

I guess to some it’s just a pile of rocks but to us it is one of the most fantastic landscapes on earth!

It was like entering Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs although they were here many years ago with fossils having been found all around this region.

Photographs can only give you a small hint of what it is like…. If you have a bucket list this needs to be on it!!!

Now booked in at the KOA at Moab and sheltering behind the curtains and the air con from the fierce heat of the Utah desert, well into the 90’s plus today.
