Sept. 22-25, 2007 Arches National Park, Utah

In 1971 Arches became a National Park. The elevations range from 3,960 to 5,653 feet. There are more than 2,000 arches, plus windows and other sandstone formations, including Delicate Arch, Devils Garden, Courthouse towers, balanced rock, three gossips and many more. I see plenty of wonder in this park. There is so much to see and you are amazed of the different formations and shapes in this park. We camped at Koa in Moab which is 5 miles from Arches.

Here are some pictures of the Arches Park, Three Gossips, Balanced Rock, Delicate Arch , Skyline Arch and Organ Formation.
