We had amazing nine days of vacations in Utah and Nevada: sunny, full of adventures, nature wonders, and, of course, memories. I planned this trip for a long half year, read a lot. And by the beginning of the Summer, I had the biggest problem: how to include all these breathtaking Utah places. So the easiest way was to trip through all five Utah National Parks.
On Monday we started our day in Green River. Yesterday we entered Utah during late hours and didn’t see anything except highway. Morning showed the wall of Green river. I was impressed. So first we checked nearest places.
San Rafael Swell
Black Dragon Canyon
After the lunch we entered Arches.
Balanced Rock
Sand Dune Arch
We didn’t hike to the Delicate Arch but we walked to the Upper viewpoint (check th eline of people waiting to make a photo)
Landscape Arch, Double O Arch, and Navajo Arch
I wanted to hike this trail with a lot of arches on the way. Let me show why.
The trail by itself is beautiful: you feel like walking on Mars.
The first we stopped near Landscape Arch
And then trail becomes more challenging climbing over slubs.
So the Double O Arch
On the way back to trailhead we visited Navajo Arch, one of the most unique in the park (though all of them are unique)
Look, who we met on the trail!
Skyline Arch
Windows
The last stop for the day was the Windows Trailhead. We planned to meet sunset there
Turret Arch
And both Windows
