Arches National Park

A big part of my Pinterest boards are places I'd like to travel to someday.  I really enjoy traveling and seeing new things, but it can be expensive.  A cheaper alternative is to travel close to home, so we recently took a road trip to see some nearby national parks in Utah and Arizona.  Our first stop was Arches National Park in Utah.  With over 2,000 naturally occurring arches, Arches has the most natural bridges in the world!

One of my favorites was Double Arch.  If you look closely, you can see some people under the arch and get a sense of how big this rock formation is.

This landscape really had an other-worldly feel to it and it's truly amazing to think about how long it took for nature to create these amazing rock formations!

Another favorite was landscape arch, the longest in the park.

After Arches, we spent a day in Zion National Park, stopped by to view the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and spent a day in Monument Valley.  More pictures coming soon!
