march 31st friday arches national park slept well. closed my eyes around 8:30, feel asleep by 9 I think. woke up 4:45 before my alarm. got up at 5a.m. , packed up, on the road by 5:30a.m. drove to arches, no rangers at the gates, drove to the trailhead for delicate arches, did the hike, got great photos. Onto to the next! I’d tried to say more about it, but I’m not a poet. the photos will do it more justice than whatever I can say. My advice go early like Jeff and I didi, get there before the crowds. be there for the sunrise. getting back from the delicate arch hike, it’s only 9a.m. and it’s getting crazy busy. people hiking up that have no business on that trail. you have to be semi fit. Felt sorry for the 80 something couple I saw shuffling up, but good for them for trying. Hope they can make it. There was so much more we saw at Arches, made all the stops, but again. ...
