Arches Day 3

After a much better night of sleep, we woke up to begin our last day in Arches.

While we were packing up camp, Boston took Hadley for a walk.

Seriously. So precious.

Our first stop was Balanced Rock. (.3 miles)

So cool to walk around it, and see it from all angles.




Then we hiked to the North and South Window's. (1 mile)


A huge stair case lead's you to the north window.


Hadley was so funny saying How de do, Fun Fun, Arches!! She would also sing funny songs!


These window's are HUGE!!!


Boston and I moving a rock...


South Window

Also along the window's loop is Turret Arch!

It has 2 mini arches around it too!


Boston and I climbed to the inside of the arch!

Next stop. Potty break. Hadley being ever so patient.

Our last hike was to Double Arch. (.8 mile)

I really think this might be one of my top favorites!

A perfect arch to end with.



Goodbye Arches. What a FABULOUS vacation you provided!

But wait... we left Arches, but the trip wasn't over! We then drove to Dead Horse Point.

Jeremy LOVED this place. 2,000 feet above the Colorado River. You can see 300 million years of the earth's geologic history.
I was a nervous wreck the entire time!! These pictures do not give justice to the place. Seriously, the biggest hole, cliff thing I have ever seen.



That ends our trip. We seriously had the best time. The kids did so amazing! It's awesome to me how people traveled from Colorado, Missouri, Alaska, Nevada, Flordia, British Columbia, New York, California, Wyoming, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Virginia, Alberta Canada, New Mexico, Illinous, Arizona, Germany, China , and who know's where else to come see Arches. We are so lucky to live so close to such breath taking beauty. I am so grateful that God made such a beautiful world for us to enjoy.
