We spend the next night at Moab, Utah, close to the Colorado River and just down a huge, rift canyon from the Arches National Monument. What a place that turned out to be! Giant red cliffs and outcroppings, all of the darkest red sandstone on a layer of yellowish, shinier and harder stone that shows off these natural red sculptures to great advantage. It is not the best day to take pictures, overcast with occasional sprinkles, but we see a lot of territory and take some pretty good pictures, considering that the sun does not come out for us. We drive past three pillars that look like old fashioned ladies in outlandish hats (dubbed The Three Gossips), toward Balanced Rock (it is right by the road and we can see another balanced rock in the distance as we frame a picture), and a road that leads to a cluster of sights including Turret Arch, and the North and South Window Arches (adjacent to each other on the same sandstone wall). Then it's on to the Wolfe Ranch and a trail to see Delicate Arch. Gary stays in the rig while I hike to an overlook and take a picture. Next is the main campgrounds area where several little cul-de-sacs are snuggled in amongst huge, red rock outcroppings with a natural amphitheater and Skyline Arch as part of the unbelievably beautiful scenery. After some hiking and driving and looking, we drive on to the Devils Garden Trailhead. This area has a lot of hiking trails to nine or ten separate arches. Gary takes a nap while I hike in to see the Tunnel Arch and the Pine Tree Arch. It is amazing how these huge walls can be so tall and yet so thin - it's a good thing they're not in earthquake territory! First we have the Three Gossips, and then the Balanced Rock and Gary walking towards the North & South Windows. The last one is one of the campground cul-de-sacs.
