arches

Emily is petrified of the bronze animals at the zoo, but she got close enough to this baby mountain goat statue for me to snap a pictureWe drove through Arches National Park and took a couple of short hikes to see some of the famous arches.
The Balanced Rock
The Delicate Arch. I thought it would be bigger! We didn't want to take Emily on the longer hike that goes to the base, though. Next time.

And my favorite, the Double Arch
The hike to this one was really nice, and we climbed up under the arches- so awesome!
I scaled the rocks up to the left arch, which had an awesome view overlooking the park

I can't wait to visit again and spend more time hiking around!

You know what is so embarrassing about this post? Is that I LIVE in Utah, and I still haven't been to Arches?! How sad is that?
