We started our second day in Arches with . . .
. . . a rousing game of Duck, Duck, Goose . . .
. . . then a hike to Landscape Arch, one of the longest natural spans in the world at 290'. You used to be able to hike under it, but since 1991 three big slabs (the biggest was 70' long) have broken off the narrowest portion, so the park closed that part of the trail. Dad thinks the arch will crumble completely in our lifetimes.
While the adults admired the arch, Daniel got in touch with nature by doing a little sand painting.
Joy and Daddy went on a little hike of their own, . . .
. . . then we drove across the park to visit the massive Double Arch near the Parade of Elephants arches.
As sunset approached, everyone hiked up to Delicate Arch while I watched the kids back at camp. Sunset at Delicate Arch is a breathtaking sight, and Phillip has dozens of pictures to prove it. I'll just post one. :)
