Camping in Arches

We got back last night from a five day camping trip to Arches National park in Southern Utah.
We had a fantastic time.  Our days were filled with hikes, rock climbing, relaxing, campfires, and games.


The Arches were such a beautiful sight.  We learned so much.  Savannah celebrated her 6th birthday in the park.  It was a great way to spend spring break. I have tons of pictures.  I'll post some of my favorites.....


I think our three favorite things were, The Firery Furnace- you have to have a permit to go into the Firery Furnace, or go on a guided tour with a Ranger.  We did the three hour hike with the Ranger.  We learned so much.  We enjoyed climbing through small openings, and squeezing through small passages.
The Sand Dune Arche- this arch was in a really nice area where it was nice and cool.  There was a ton of sand just like at the beach.  Skyline arch- this arch was rather close to our campground.  It was huge!
  Once you climb under the arch, you have awesome views of the park.
