Day 9 - Last Day
|
Entrance into The Arch National Park |
This was our last day for this wonderful trip. As there are
many attractions in Utah, we have no choice but to choose only one as we need
to get back to Denver latest by the night. Having to spare all the canyons for
future visit, we proceeded to the Arches National Park where you will find
natural rock formations of contrasting colors in the form of arches, pinnacles.
Massive fins as well as balanced rock.

The Park Avenue & Courthouse Towers |

The Park Avenue |
Located about 5 miles north of Moab, Utah we were amazed
with the landscape and sheer size of the rocks. To really appreciate the beauty
of this park, you have to hike along the trails for the best photo opportunity
as some of the great vistas can only be reached by walking. To cover the whole
park will take you a few days…..

The Delicate Arch |

Among the must-see attractions here are the Delicate Arch,
Park Avenue and Balance Rock but to reach the Delicate Arch would require a 3
km hike up the hill. We just went to the other side of the arch and viewed it
from below as everybody was too tired to do any exercise. This place is really
a heaven for photography enthusiasts.

The Balanced Rock |
After spending enough time in the park, we proceeded back to
Denver which is over 350 miles away from Moab. Feeling really exhausted, all of
us were very satisfied with all the visits and attractions that we visited.
This 9 day trip covering a total distance of over 2,500 miles was really a
tiring yet very memorable one….
