ARCHES NATIONAL PARK - UTAH

Have you been to Arches? If not you should put it on your travel bucket list. There are a lot to see in Arches. On our first day we woke up super early to see the sunrise in Delicate Arch. It's still dark when we entered the park, we went straight to the parking lot where the trail start for delicate arch. When we arrived in there, there was already tons of car parked.

We are not that so fit for hikes so we agreed to just do one hike and yeah its the delicate arch because we badly want to see it ourselves. It's on Utah's plate number so its so popular :). Uggh we underestimate the hike. To get to Delicate Arch, it is a 3-mile round trip hike with 480 feet of elevation gain. This hike, plus time to view the arch, takes most people 2 to 3 hours. The National Park Service describes this hike as difficult i admit i almost give up but the thought of seeing it myself keeps me going.

We never see the sunrise because we were slow haha but trust me, it's worth the hike, it was so beautiful. The viewing area was already packed when we arrived there. It's so good to see it.

There is still a lot to see a lot of hikes, but i was so tired so we only drove around the park and pull over when we see an interesting view :) Below are the photos i took.

CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK - UTAH

Canyonlands National Park is an American national park located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. The park preserves a colorful landscape eroded into numerous canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. Legislation creating the park was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on September 12, 1964.

The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the combined rivers—the Green and Colorado—which carved two large canyons into the Colorado Plateau. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character. Author Edward Abbey, a frequent visitor, described the Canyonlands as "the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth—there is nothing else like it anywhere. (Wiki)

These are some photos i took during our trip to UTAH specifically Canyonlands. We actually did not do major hikes, the only hike we did was the Mesa Arch. Most of the photos were not far from the road. There are a lot of hikes to do here, maybe next visit we will do it :)
