Good thing that Arches National Park reopened today; thanks to the state of Utah funding the parks. We got in line with all of the other shutouts from prior days, and beelined (a Utah expression as noted on their highway signs) to Delicate Arch. We heard it was threatened with collapse - sometime in the next few thousand years. Ruthie, having eaten her Wheatabix was able to add support to the Arch.
On the way to the rescue, a day earlier, we stopped at the trail for Negro Bill Canyon, and hiked to Morning Glory Arch; the sixth largest Arch in the world. We hiked 5 miles, enjoying the great weather and the many stream crossings and rock formations.
Tomorrow, it's into the MAZE at Canyonlands State Park for us. Four days of 4 wheel off roading, hiking, and camping. NO LOAFING!
