Arches National Park

 We arrived in Moab on a Friday. We took a scenic drive into Moab.  It had a lot of canyons. No pictures because they are on Mom's camera and she is having issues.

We stayed at a campground called Canyonlands Resort and RV Campground. Their map shows they have an off-leash dog area. We assumed they meant a dog park.  It also shows the area in green which lead us to believe they have grass. They do not have a dog park and there is not any grass at all. 😡 We spent four nights there and never even found an area that was marked for dogs.  We met several other dog owners who felt that they misrepresented the dog area.  I hated it there because I do not like walking on gravel at all.  I look like an old man taking each step slowly.  The mornings that we headed to the National Parks, the folks drove me to McDonald's so that I could take care of business on grass.  I had to face the gravel in the evenings, but that was just to get out of the campground.  We would then walk on the sidewalk until we came to grass.  We found some lucious grass not far from the campground.

I never knew that when you went to a National Park, you had to get up early.  We were up at 5 a.m. just to beat the heat and the crowds. We weren't the only ones.  There are a lot of people that got up early to see the sunrise.  We went to Arches National Park twice. We went on a Saturday and a Monday.  On Monday, the folks hiked for two miles to see the world's largest arch.  We were out of the park by 9:25 a.m. and we were shocked to see the line of people waiting to get inside. The sign said the park was closed and to come back in 3-5 hours due to the crowd size.

Here are a few photos from Arches:

This is the largest arch in the world. The rock behind makes it look small but the arch goes all the way across.
