[Learning to Live Peace] Another direction...

[Laura]

After waiting a couple of days in Utah and realizing that we had a few more days before the storm would pass, we decided to take a trip east to visit my sister and her family outside of Denver, CO. We stopped by Arches National Park on the way and traveled some very scenic highways. Ironically, we seem to have brought the rain with us - Colorado doesn't see many fully rainy days, but it rained almost the whole trip over and the rain arrived at our destination at the same time we did (and hasn't stopped since!) oops. Still, it has been great to visit my sister and nephews! Certainly a better place to wait :) We'll be off again in a couple of days.

The sandstone at this Park is susceptible to eroding away to form arches.  They were everywhere!

This is one of the most famous arches.  You can walk up and stand under it.

Another famous arch.

The scenery was again pretty spectacular.

I liked seeing the arches and landscape from afar more than up close.

Just as we were leaving Utah, we were admiring the rocks when a double rainbow popped up. We were quite close to the end of the rainbow! My nephews think the car bed is pretty comfy!
