PANORAMIC PICS FROM ARCHES NATIONAL PARK, UTAH

Getting into the 18 mile paved scenic drive that leads to all the major viewpoints within the park.
The "Balance Rock" from the sidewalk.
Some hikers are getting closer to the "Balance Rock" when the daylight is getting to an end.
A closer view from the "Balance Rock" while we were hiking with my husband.
The daylight is leaving us. We are In the parking lot, there is a view from the side from the road. "The Three gossips" can be seeing in the middle of the picture.
Another side of the same parking lot, but you can see the dusk in the picture.
Love the "movement" of the clouds in the sky.
More rock formations from the road, filled with clouds.
We were going into the "Devils Garden". It looks awesome. It was around 9:00 am.
In this section of the park, the Devil's Garden trail offers much more scenic hiking than any other trail. It is the longest in the park and probably the most challenging for hikers. It has multiple routes and side trails along the way.
We are in the middle of our hiking when we have a storm coming. It cooled the heat, but it was scary too.
There is a wide range of desert vegetation along with shaded areas and breathtaking summits. It was a long hike, but it was worth it.
We got into the Landscape Arch, which is considered the longest natural arch in the world.
Hiking the Devil's Garden trail is like exploring an alien planet. The graded walkway ends at Landscape and the trail beyond twists, climbs and drops though unimaginable red rock vistas.
This is one of the breathtaking views. We could spend hours enjoying the view, unfortunately we need to keep moving.
In the middle of our hike, my son got some time to keep hiking and going up. He was too enthusiastic, but we were amazed with our adventure.
On the next day, we went to the Fiery Furnace, which is a maze of sandstone fins. My husband went inside with my two boys, lead by a ranger. These cool passageways provided an exciting adventure for them
This is the view when I left them, I decided to go the other way with my daughter.
We chose going to this trail that leads through deep sand to a secluded arch among sandstone fins. This easy hike is a short janunt from the parking area into a small slot canyon.
The last picture of the day. There was an amazing view from the top of this mountain where we could see a great portion of the park. It was an awesome adventure.
