Arches National Park, Moab, Utah

On a gorgeous Monday morning we drove through the quaint town of Moab to Arches National Park.


After a quick stop at the visitors centre for a map and some info, we drove into the Park...

The first stop was the Park Avenue Trailhead and View Point. Another couple had pulled up to the view point around the same time as us, and after talking to them for a few minutes, they kindly offered to follow Nick to the end of the trail to drop off our car and drive him back to the trailhead so we could just walk 1 way. (My bad for not taking their pic and getting their names to mention them on the blog, because they deserved it. It saved us a lot of time and there was so much we wanted to see!) Anyway, this is the view of our first little hike down Park Avenue, named after all the tall buildings that line Park Avenue in NYC.
