Arches National Park

On Monday, we left Grand Junction, Colorado, and drove 3 hours to Moab, Utah. Moab is the home of Arches National Park. If you never heard of Arches, you probably did after the pandemic because its popularity exploded when traveling abroad became restricted. It is so popular now that you have to go online and schedule an entrance time. I had completely forgotten to do that but we were able to get an entry ticket for 1 p.m. so before going into the park, we grabbed some sandwiches at Subway.  Given how hot it was, we skipped going on any hikes.  The drive through the park is beautiful with stops along the way.  Gorgeous!!!!  I have actually been to arches just right before the pandemic started and was able to hike to the arch back then and here and here.  On how much the kids enjoyed the park, I am not sure, but my 9-year-old said she does enjoy looking at erosion.  Smart Aleck!
