Greetings all! Today, we had a very enjoyable day. We got up at around 8, which was actually quite late for this trip (we’ve been getting up around 6 or 7 each day, I guess because we aren’t used to the time being back a few hours yet). We left our awesome hotel @ Cameron, and were yet again on the road for about 7 hours.
Our view from the hotel in Cameron.
Going from Arizona to Utah brought a lot of different landscapes, we started with a desert-ish drive that eventually turned into the beautiful Utah countryside, with huge natural rock formations everywhere. Eventually, we made it to Arches National Park, a large area chock full of massive, well, arches. We enjoyed a 1-mile round trip hike in 101 degree, dry heat (absolutely no sarcasm) to the top of a vantage point to see the Delicate Arch.

Colin, Dad, and Myself enjoyed a hike to the Windows, a series of 3 beautiful arches.
North and South Windows, Turret Arch wasn't pictured.
Colin and I decided to climb up the North Arch to see a great view of the park.
Us on the North Arch...there was a huge dropoff maybe three feet from us.
We got to our hotel at 9 pm or so and didn’t have dinner until 10. However, it wasn’t all bad – we ordered from Pablo’s Pizza which was very good. Tomorrow, we’ll have a day packed full of driving as we head to Wyoming. Until later, take care!

Hey, it looks like you all are moving right along. Have you found the giant ball of string yet? Thanks for sharing your time with us. Loved the Wigwam Hotel. It looks like all the scenery has been breathtaking.
Good luck and keep it in your lane!!!
