I am not sure of the name of the arch on the left but the photograph on the right is another angle of the Windows Arch

The famous double arch is very unusual to say the least. It is one of the best examples of arches in the park and everyone makes the trek to see it. As we got closer to the arch we noticed that, due to our position, the colors of the arch changed.

Another unusual formation is what I call the "golf ball on a tee" formation. All in all, Arches National park is a park that should not be missed. Along the way we came upon a Park ranger shooing a large, 4.5 feet, bull snake to get off the road. How the snake finds enough food in this place to grow that big is unbelievable.

It is now May 1, 2002 and Canyonland National Park is next on our trip. There are only 14 "dry" campsites in the park so we get there early, stake out a site, and take off to see the park.

It is easy to see why the park got its name. Erosion has caused the "canyon" and from the overlook it is really impressive.
