It was a long day driving down from Telluride to Mesa Verde, then up to Moab, Utah. Lots of beautiful countryside covered!
When we arrived in Moab we found a camping site along the Colorado River beneath a high rock wall. It was late and we were tired so we went straight to sleep to the sound of the rushing waters. When we awoke, we were able to finally see the magnificence of the land around us. The huge red rock walls were composed of the most vibrant reds and oranges I've ever seen in nature. They made you feel so small too, in a good way though.
We spent the morning and early afternoon exploring the ''gods playground'' at arches. Trying to fathom nature's delicate hand creating these perfectly balanced structures. It can blow anyone's mind. The rock has been transformed into animals, people, windows, and arches scaling hundreds of feet up in the sky. We hiked to the North and South Windows, and completed the hike out to the most famous arch, Delicate Arch.
