Park Ave

We were picked up at the hotel at 7:15 AM for our morning tour of the Arches National Park. The night before, there were 24 people on a large bus. This morning, there were two other people. Although we were told these were pretty much the same tour, they ended up being very different. The van could park in areas that the bus couldn’t, we didn’t spend as much time getting on and off the bus. We ended up doing a lot more hiking!
Obviously the area doesn’t get much rain but I curious as to how hot it got, the guide said that it could easily reach 90 and 100 degrees start in June through August. I was glad that we were seeing it in May.
There are over 2,000 arches in the Arches National Park. As I expected, seeing the park in different lighting conditions made it all look different and although I had seen some of the same arches the evening before, I was just as fascinated with seeing it all again. This is one spot that I could have spent a few more days at.
After the tour, we headed back to the hotel and decided to have lunch at the BBQ place next door to the hotel and then it was time to start the best part of the trip – to board the Rocky Mountaineer!
