The Great Western Road Trip 2018: Arches

We spent less time in Arches than planned, but everyone was a little done with rock formations by then. We drove into the park about 6pm and stayed through sunset at 9pm, and then opted not to go back in the morning (we all agree that we regret not hiking to delicate arch, but we were anxious to meet up with the cousins and get on to Colorado):

We came across our first Arch before we got to the park entrance

In the morning, we met up with Chris, Annmarie and company at the visitor center before taking off towards Dinosaur National Monument:
