Unforgettable life experience of Delicate Arch remain in a state of excitement, we Arches (Arches) National Park, deep in the Devil's Garden, or 'Devil's Garden' and drove hastily. It is the longest in the world before it was to see the arch.

Devil's Garden (Devil's Garden) at the entrance, which caught the sun on the horizon is dazzling back light. (Arches National Park's location on Google maps click here, and the former travels park guide map for reference)

Return this form to the left toward the parking lot looking over rugged rocks and camping under the sheets, which, for the first week of Yellowstone travel plans had to book the camping site here. Change in the end days of a 30 day trip to the normal cancellation frustrated, but someday I want to use a time of camping.

Starting from the entrance of the terrible demon (?) Landscape skills ... ^ ^ It is a high, low and rocky trail has already deep shadow, is not easy to match the exposure of the photos. Adjust the focus turns to the dark place eventually, gum flavor was bluish white and the sky is shown in the photo and went there.

Naturally made "stone bridge" in the Landscpae Arch is the longest in the world looks like. Another photo of the arch, even the extreme right looks like this.

This breathtaking part of the arch is the length of floating in the air 290 feet (88.4m) and the receiver also, but most of the thickness of 2m high and there is not really a miracle that should not fall down. Especially in the old days, you can walk to just below the arch was, in 1995, 1991 and now the best part of going to a dozen meters away chunks of rock since the length of the rail, thus making the approach to be strictly prevented.

Once more, where Partition, Navajo, Double O Arch comes out to continue, and since that time the road is steep enough late had to return to the parking lot.

Mother and daughter go way back - to continue dancing and jumping

But down here in the dark garden of evil (Devil's Garden) ... Do not ignore ignore the silhouette of a dead tree.

Until suddenly a dark cloud coming at us, it is us who are It was only in the valley,

National Park in under 10 minutes from Moab and four in the evening, eating nine o'clock at night the car ran over again for more than 1 hour struck the tent embroidered Green River (Green River) to be on his way to forget a lot of thunder and lightning that struck It was not the night.

"There is no more Canyon!" Wasteland of giant canyons - Canyonlands National Park of Utah

Grand Canyon is grandeur on the eyes like, Bryce Canyon (Bryce Canyon) did not like the delicate beauty found here in southeastern Utah Canyonlands National Park is perhaps that both, or even more In this obvious hiding place. Because, this is where the time and four-wheel drive (four-wheel drive) car, and the courage required canyon wilderness, 'the land of the unknown' because it was.

1,800 m above sea level, stretches of grassland which runs on 'Island in the Sky Road' next to the sign announcing the entrance of the National Park stand. Relatively recently, in 1964, Canyon lands National Park (Canyonlands) is so well known, only about 100,000 people a year should not have visitors, it is also close to the northeast of the famous Arches (Arches) national park while people take time to come If you hear a lot of thanks.

Thus, where the confluence of the Colorado River downstream from the falls, travel to the western United States in 2005 stopped by the Glen Canyon (Glen Canyon) National Recreation Area and the famous Grand Canyon National Park, Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam in (Lake Mead) National Recreation Area is a river that So in turn leads to.

Looking inside the park Visitor Center Trail models explain quite a lot of people, including my grandfather was a Ranger. The right of the photo to visit his wife and daughter stamp commemorating National Park Take a notebook after having received the Junior Ranger booklet that came out again. Back to the first step on the car, in the park on the green circle on the map to the left Upheaval Dome trail is marked visited.

Upheaval Dome is well above the white aerial photographs of the rock in the middle like a 5km radius of concentric circles around the earth is made of wavy terrain which is a very unique, strata, as the name 'catastrophe (upheaval)' It was never clear to produce, but the direct cause of cataclysmic explosion took place in the ground, or whether a meteorite from outer space and that it is still unclear whether the crash. Photos in the parking lot on the left side to pull the end of the road, the edge of a cliff overlooking the white rocks, but trying to walk, it takes about an hour round trip to see the guide just came out back, so browsing the internet instead of aerial photographs it ... ^ ^

Gush back in the Willow Flat Campground near the intersection of the road at the end of the fall came to Green River Overlook. 6,000 feet above sea level, so that the end of the 1,830 m walk in here, we are standing on a cliff 400m of height is given, and the down ...

Only the white border on white rims (White Rim) to the flat land and back to the bottom of the canyon below 300m depth, flowing green (Green) River is seen. The feeling is literally floating in the sky island (island in the sky) 'in the sky looking down at the ground just the genus was that!

Best pavement in the south end of Grand View Point Trail walk is all seen two 270-degree view of the river is where the out. By the way, who walk in front of the bridge is 4-fold cartoon SpongeBob appearing on Squidward (Korea were "Squidward") reminds me of that ... ^ ^

As with the earlier short walk down the cliff cliffs again, this time the Colorado River (Colorado) river changed. Along the edge of the White Rim, off-road (off-road) bike or four-wheel drive vehicles that are around in the dirt road seems to have been created.

"Come here, so please take the cliff -" Standing on a cliff without railings pictures of people ask ...

My wife and daughter - who are so brave to pose much comes out, I go a little further back while ... ^ ^

Protruding end of that go away, looked to the right beyond the green strength, here is it takes about an hour round trip just to back. I first look back parking lot I took turns, holding wisdom Junior Ranger booklet shouts. "Dad, wait ~ WAIT!"

We're going back to the Visitor Center in a hurry where we had one, right next to the intersection of the Mesa Arch (Mesa Arch) of the appearance. Las Vegas City Center enough to have a personal exhibition of the famous American landscape photographer rough Rodney (Rodney Lough Jr.) Of the above works, "Desire" is widely known as the flat top of the arch at the end of a cliff, just great "stone bridge" is created known for the. In particular, in recognition of the work they are popular places to take pictures at sunrise, which detect the image so I can see the various sunrise photos.

To get back to the Visitor Center, with its muddy dirt road is clear Rocking Toyota (Toyota) of the four-wheel-drive Matrix S stands in the parking lot. This car runs right down to the White Rim Visitor Center here has been straight, then put behind the wheel of the Shafer Trail is just under way ...

400m high cliffs made of a low-stake staggered down the dirt road behind the wheel is indeed what happens in a person? So, here's Canyon Land is the time and the place where four-wheel drive car, not challenging the 'container' is said to be the first time where you need it. (Where the visitor center down the road from the entrance to go up a little bit, which is also heard, because it spreads the pictures came from the Internet)

Junior Ranger Visitor Center challenges the wisdom of one grandmother who was described to me with the Rangers, medium sweet and took pictures together. So a little more than two hours Canyonlands National Park, it is also 1.3 million "scratch the surface" is over, and started to Arches National Park
