Today was Arches National Park day, as it was for thousands of other visitors. The park is known worldwide as one of the most scenic spots on the planet. Consequently it is very busy. We arrived at the park around 10 am and waited in line for about 15 minutes to pay our $15 entrance fee. After a short visit to the visitor center we then rode the length of the park road (about 25 miles) to the Devil's Garden picnic site where we (you guessed it) had a Subway sandwich (purchased earlier) picnic.

By this time the temp was approaching 30C. We then retraced our path and stopped at some of the photo-op spots along the way. The challenge for the day was finding a place to park but luckily the bike doesn't take up much room so we were able to tuck it into small spaces. Cars and motorhomes faced other challenges and often created traffic jams on some of the one way roads.

After leaving the park we stopped at the Hole in the Rock, a famous bar/restaurant now converted into a tourist stop. After enlarging the photos by clicking on them check them out carefully. Do you see the jeep on the mountain? The other jeep is a metal sculpture.
Tonight we are in Blanding, UT and it is gusty and hot!
