ARCHES NATIONAL PARK - Sept. 10, 2008

We stopped at several of the roadside viewpoints for our first glimpses of the formations in Arches NP.



Our first view of Delicate Arch.


The hike to and from the viewpoint was a little strenuous - but we all made it.
Many of us wore our "Utah Rocks" tee shirts today.


After a wonderful grilled hot dog lunch at a picnic area, the group split up to do more sightseeing and hiking on their own.
The Tilmans and Sponenbergs chose to hike to Double Arch, two arches in the same rock formation.

Steve and Ed hiked into the arch.



The weather was glorious . Perfect for hiking at Arches.
