We started the beautiful morning on the swing set. You can just barely see the beautiful red rock and sunflowers in the background if you look closely.
While hiking to Landscape Arch, we encountered a huge, cool lizard. Dave was happy to see something cool, even if we didn't get to see any scorpions on our trip (that is what he was hoping for!)
Lucy hiked almost the whole mile to see Landscape Arch (she wimped out once we hit a sandy portion of the trail). This was one of my favorite arches. It is so long and skinny. Very impressive that you can find things like this in nature, somebody must have had a little fun along with all the hard work creating the world.
Here's Lucy flashing a big smile from her sacrificial diaper changing rock. It made for a nice changing table.

I am making this hike sound long. It was only .2 miles, but it was beautiful so I took a lot of pictures on the "long" sandy trek. Here is Dave scaling the crevice.
This was definitely Lucy's favorite Arch. Shoes off, rolling down the dune. This is the life.
The sand was sooooooo soft! We spent the most time here out of anywhere that we visited in the park. It just felt too good to sit barefoot in the shade.
Here is a picture on our way out of Lucy copying her Daddy.
Goodbye arches. We love you!
This was an amazing trip! I can't believe I have lived in Utah for so long and this was my first trip here. I had camped in Goblin Valley before, which wasn't very far away, but had never made it out here. I just had no idea it was so breathtaking. I thought we would get here and see two cool arches and then be ready to go. Instead, there were hundreds of arches, and even when there weren't arches there were extremely impressive rock structures. It's only 3 hours from P-town, so make sure you visit on your next Utah trip!
