Arches National Park

Wednesday night, Mike and I and the kids drove down to Moab, UT for a couple of days. We spent Thursday morning and afternoon at Arches National Park near Moab, UT.

Because the kids are small, it really limited us on what we could explore. Most of the trails were over 1 mile...way too long for a 4 and 2 year old.

We did find a couple of fun trails to explore. The first was Sand Dune Arch Trail. It was a great hike for small kids. Once back there, the sand was like beach sand (only reddish). Drew and Kyra had so much fun. Drew was climbing and jumping.

Another trail we hiked on was Balanced Rock Trail. This was mostly a paved trail, very nice for little ones. Along the path, the park rangers had made several little "Balanced Rocks." Kyra liked playing with them.

Arches was a beautiful national park...I've never seen anything like it. Salt Lake mountains are NO comparison to the mountains down there.

Enjoy the pictures!
