Arches National Park, Utah

Images of the spectacular sites in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah taken in April 2008.

I spent the better part of three days driving and hiking through the park in all sorts of weather from sunny to overcast and even endured a blinding dust storm. All the best sites require a hike of some kind so I was always on the move and had to hike just over 14 miles one of the days I was there just to see everything. Delicate Arch at sunset was the highlight of the visit but the entire park is awesome.

Love this park and you've captured it well.
I managed a photo of "Wall Arch" before it collapsed in 2008.
Nice job.
Regards,
David
