The Wild Wild West!

After a strong (pancake) breakfast we drove of for a visit at the famous Arches national park. We actually bought a $80, 00 pass for all national parks in the USA. Not only can we use this for all park entrances, we can even ass this along to our friends or family. I do not understand why people would still pay individually as this is a deal you can't resist. One park is usually about $25.00 so if you are visiting 3 or 4 you are better of to buy a year pass. Every time I think I have seen the most beautifully national park a new one comes a long. This country really is unbelievable when it comes to nature. Our hike today was very challenging and I needed to take a break at least 4 times going to the top, nevertheless it was again breathtaking. We went all the way to the top to delicate arch, it is just so different. I do not know why it was so hard for us as we have done hikes much longer and steeper then this one. Maybe it was the time of day, or the continuous climbing.Wall paintings from between 1650's to 1850's


The wild west it is, especially when Nick and Anthony are there : )

The three gossips, the size is impressive.

Same with this picture, do you see the balance of this Huge rock?Same balancing rock to give you an idea of the size.
