Collecting sand on our road trip

It was not too crowded with other visitors there the day we visited. Entering Arches National Park, thank you Mike Carpenter for sharing your video. 

 

Sand Dune Arch

  

La Sal Mountain, Fiery Furnace, Delicate Arch Park Avenue Trailhead, and Balanced Rock.

Petrified Forest, do yourself a favor and check out the map before you go into the Petrified Forest. We did not do that and we were very sorry.
