I had to start a discussion on this since it is for sure one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. I wish I would have been able to stay there for more than the one day I did! (Above photo is me in front of some rock formations). Me and my friend only lasted about 2 hours hiking before becoming exhausted. Some of the trails were very intense and not for novice hikers (like us!). We did see 2 arches - their claim to fame - but gave up on seeing more. I cant wait to go back to Utah and explore more of their parks. We ended up camping only a few miles away on the Colorado river which was cool! Lots of geckos or salamanders! Have you ever been to this national park or any other one that you think is a "must see"?

Never been to a national park..thats pretty sad. Plus they are free here today for Colorado Day. I love this place where you went Maezee! Oh I bet it is quite tiring. Is that you in the photo? Lovely photo you got there.

That is me. Yes its so hot in the desert! Plus I am not used to he high altitude there (here where I live its 800 feet) so I was out of breath much quicker! It was beautiful and I would highly suggest it! How have you been?

@Marty1 nice. It does seem like different locations ahve different things to offer. Utah has some mountains but I am not sure why the altitude is so high. Some parts in Colorado such as Breckenridge have altitudes of up near 9000 feet.

@maezee nah, I'm not the adventurous type. And when i travel its to go to a certain place not to stop and do other things. Sadly.

I have been to Arches as well as Zion and Bryce Canyon in Utah. All not to be missed national parks.
