more pictures

I thought some of you, namely Heather, may like seeing more pictures from our trip to Moab. These pictures include less of us, more of the sights. Hope you enjoy them!

1. The one on the left is Double "O" Arch. It's hard to tell in the picture, but there are two arches right on top of each other.
















2. This is an impressive view of Delicate Arch. It still baffles me that this arch is free-standing.



3. This is all of us walking along the trail, if you could even call it that. You would never be able to find it, if it weren't for the trailmarkers...which brings me to the next picture.


4. The tiny thing on the left is the trailmarker--just a couple of stacked rocks on top of each other. Sometimes they were hard to find!








5. These are petroglyphs, thought to have been drawn by the Ute Indians.











6. This one is Wall Arch. This one was really fun because it was easy to climb up and poke around.



7. The last one is Partition Arch, but we couldn't remember it's name at first so we all called it Pocohantas Arch. Anyhow, it is rightfully named because, as you can see, it serves as an amazing divider between where we were standing and the distant city of Moab on the horizon. What a view!
