Colorado Means Red



The same rock layers are underneath much of Utah and Arizona.  At Arches National Park the landscape is different because only eight to ten inches of rain fall per year.  The erosion is limited and this makes for fascinating shapes.

I would love to travel through this park on a guided tour by a geologist.  Perhaps they could explain how this rocks stays balanced.



Some of the arches were large and thick and others were thinner.  We saw where some arches fell in recently.  I had a good blend of hiking and riding in the car at this park.

What a fascinating place is Arches National Park!
