First having visited this National Park back in 1985 when our youngest child was still getting a ride on our kiddie backpack, then in 2004 when we camped in a tent, and this time we camped at Devils Garden Campground at Arches in our motorhome. The campground was totally refurbished a couple of years ago, and we found it fabulous. Great sites set in the rocks, with views out of all of our windows.
We even met Lila, the camp host for the past 16 years, who knew all of the inside scoops. We even discovered that Lila was from Iowa and it just happened that University of Michigan was playing Iowa on Saturday, so we were invited to watch the football game on her DirectTV in her very own park service cabin at the entrance of the campground.
{Secret: Verizon data and phone service from site 21!}
Now that we were camped deep inside Arches NP, we took hikes to see a few of the over 1,000 arches. We even tried a bike ride down a gravel road through Salt Valley to Tower Arch...but just too rough for us and our E-Bikes, so we had to turn back. All of the surrounding landscape was magnificent and we realized that our five days at the park just didn't allow us enough time.
Arches National Park is a place that we will be coming back to....
