Nature's Unexpected Theme Park

Anyone who knows me knows how much I LOVE the theme parks in Orlando. I had no idea that yesterday every theme park I have ever been to would be completely blown away and blitzed by an unplanned visit to Arches National Park ... Nature's Theme Park.

Driving down from the Rockies to Moab the night before, we did the last hour or so of the journey in the dark, so had no idea of the landscape around us. It had, however, been break-taking on the way down, and just north of Moab we had seen a signpost for Arches, so yesterday morning we thought, why not? It's so close, we might as well check it out for ten bucks.

It was a worth a thousand dollar entry fee! The photos do NOTHING to convey what it was like; it's the sort of thing you have top experience yourself to comprehend it, but here are a few anyway.
