arches

Sunday 11th August 2019
Today we check out of Moab and go to Arches NP. The park is literally only a couple of miles out of town.  We got in pretty quick,  there wasn't much of a line up.  Arches is up there with my most favourite parks in the usa.  Today was still hot but we managed a few shorter walks and covered about 10 kms. I really did want to do the Delicate arch walk,  but that is 2 to 3 hours of extreme walking and height change.  You are meant to carry at least a gallon of water per walker.  We decided to do the short walk to see the arch from a distance.  Not the same but still okay.  Again lots of amazing colours in the rocks and sand.  Today we travel towards Bryce Canyon NP which was about 4 hours away.  The drive was good and we got into a place called Hatch Utah well before dark.  Shortly after we went for dinner at a road side cafe called The Hoodoo Hideout Cafe. The food was really good.  If you ate all of their special steak roll they took your photo and put on the wall.  I ate all mine as did a table of 4 Australians from Perth sitting next to us.  The lady who served us possibly owned the cafe and she would have been north of 70 at a guess and really funny.  
Full bellies and ready for bed,  so back to the cabin.  Tomorrow is Bryce Canyon before heading to Vegas. 













This is delicate arch and it's a close as we got.
