Day 11 - Arches NP and Bryce Canyon NP

Day 11
Camp in Moab, UT> Hike in Arches National Park> Lunch in Moab, UT> Bryce Canyon National Park, UT> Camp near Zion National Park, UT

            So setting out on yet another day of national parks, the unstoppable duo, John and Travis set out to do something they hadn’t really done yet…… hike.

Now Arches National Park is pretty much a desert so we set out very early while it was still relatively cool to hike to the Delicate Arch… a major symbol of Utah. The hike was about 3 miles total and very worth it. The Delicate Arch is huge standing 52-feet high and on the side of a mountain it was one of the most amazing things we have seen so far.

After returning from the hike we showered up at the campgrounds and grabbed lunch at yet aonther McDonalds in order to use their internet. After a long morning we set out in the early afternoon toward Bryce Canyon National Park, UT. 

With some spectacular views it was certainly unlike anything we had seen before. From on top of the canyon ridge there at Bryce Point we could see the whole canyon and stood in awe of its size and unusual rock formations.

With some great pictures taken and one more national park to get to we hit the road yet again and set camp right outside Zion National Park, UT. It was a long day driving all across Utah but we managed with smiles on our faces ready to hit Zion and THE GRAND CANYON the next day.
