Arches – Close-ups (1 of 2)

Here are some of the things I saw while driving through Arches National Park in Utah.

I should mention that crews are prepping the roads and pullouts in the Park for re-paving so there are orange barrels all through the property.  In fact, from Sunday through Thursday they kick everyone out at 7 PM so they can get their work done without totally disrupting the flow of traffic during the day.

If you look closely at the bottom right corner of the photo above you’ll see the tops of vehicles driving through the Park.  This gives you some idea how big these rock formations are.  There is also a brown road sign in the lower left corner.

Again, look at the road at the bottom of the photo above to gauge the size of what you are seeing.
