A surprising landscape of rock formations, among which the natural arches obviously stand out, awaits you at Arches, which is best visited early morning or late afternoon.
We rose very early again the next morning, and were the first to visit Balanced Rock, and enjoyed the view of the contours of the rocky formations against a dark blue sky with only subtle hints of the first sun rays. We parked on an empty parking lot at the Windows Section, and saw Turret Arch before arriving at the North and South Window. These actually are large holes in a massive rock face. We waited in patient anticipation for the sun - it took a long time to appear, and when it finally did, it seemed to set the rocks around us on fire. As the sun was climbing in the blue sky, we continued our walk around this rock formation, and then went to the Double Arch. This is a very interesting formation: thousands and thousands of interaction between climate, erosion, and gravity formed a hole in the ceiling, and carved out two big holes, thus forming arches all around. We climbed up on the rocks, and enjoyed a great view over the landscape towards the Parade of Elephants and a dramatic fault on one side, and the Windows Section on the other. Especially the layers of soil you can see at the fault, give an idea of how this area has been developed over the last millions of years, and how this slow process will continue for a long time to come. We reluctantly returned to Moab and were on our way to new adventures - but we were missing the rocky Arches National Park right from the start. One of those places to come back to!
