Arches National Park

Arches National Park (near Fiery Furnace), May 2009

The thing with Arches: it's all driving, all the time. Fiery Furnace is about the only place you can actually get out of your car and go for a decent hike (no, ambling up to Delicate Arch does not count). Unfortunately one has to plan ahead to hike in Fiery Furnace, so all we did was stare longingly at it from the outside and hide from the Arch Hogs (translation: tourists who hang out in the arches, thus preventing other tourists from photographing said arches).

Cactus Flowers

Moab area spring flowers from a year ago...I'm annoyed that I'm not going back till September!

Double Arch

Turns out black-and-white photography kinda camouflages arch hogs (aka tourists who insist on hanging out in arches). Good to know for future holiday weekend national park visits...
