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.
After a long ride from Las Vegas, we arrived in Moab in the dark of night, and when we woke up very early the next morning, we could see only a hint of the coming day. We drove towards the entrance of Arches National Park, and as we were driving up, the dark of the night was slowly giving way to a faint blue-pink light that was announcing of the sun being on its way. The sky was covered in clouds, and after making some short stops, we ended up at the Devils Garden trailhead, and decided to go for it. The air was still cool when we walked through a small canyon, and we spotted our first arches at Tunnel Arch and Pine Tree Arch. We ourselves were spotted by a deer who jumped out of the bushes right in front of us. Walking towards Devils Garden took us past Landscape Arch, at 100m the largest arch in the world - but it is not difficult to imagine that this arch will once collapse. It looks vulnerable, and indeed, big chunks of rock have fallen from it since 1991. We passed what used to be Wall Arch on our way up, and made a side-trip to Partition Arch and Navajo Arch where we saw some of the many lizards of the park, and arrived on top of the rocky landscape shortly thereafter, giving us great views over the surrounding landscape of rock fins and plains. It was starting to get hot when we reached Double O Arch - which is an amazing natural structure of two arches one on top of the other. Climbing it proved to be pretty easy, and once again, the view from the top was great. By that time, we were starting to feel hungry as we did not have breakfast, and we rationed the little water that was remaining on our way back to the trailhead and to Moab where we had a well deserved lunch.
