Arches National Park

Arches is a park that everyone should see as these arches will not last forever. The environment changes the park on a regular basis.

Grand Staircase National Monument


This area is just huge. Very little roads to get into the middle of the park, just mostly on the outside.

Capital Reef National Park


This is where the park got its name, these uplifts go on for miles. The ground is pushed up on both sides making what they call a Watermark. There are no roads down in the area so we could not get a better picture.

Start of Grand Canyon



Is this the start of the Grand Canyon, maybe close, or just another AZ canyon? Nice to dream.
