October 19, 2024: Goodbye Arches / Heading South

Since we didn’t quite get enough of Arches NP and the kids needed to turn in their junior ranger packets, we woke up at 6am to head into the park for sunrise!

We were definitely not the only ones, and we could see why. We decided to go to the Windows where there are four main arches: North Window Arch, South Window Arch, Turret Arch, and Double Arch (which is actually a two-for-one arch deal!)

We did the first three as the sun came up behind the clouds; the boys scrambled up some formations for a better view. 





So many arxhes! We had to have a little fun in front of Turret Arxh as well…






These two are best buddies on this trip… most of the time!

Then a quick stop at Double Arch

Can you find John?!

John drew a dinosaur on the path with his walking sticks since dinosaurs used to live here.


Next was a quick stop at the visitor center for the kids to get their Arches Junior Ranger badges!



Okay.. one last arch picture!


Then it was a quick pack up and on the road again towards Meteor Crater outside of Flagstaff, AZ!

It was a little less then 6 hours but rainy drive before it was time to make a delicious dinner and call it a night!
