Day 5
116 miles

I was wanting to hit Fins-n-things before the WRT since our 1st camp was at Airport. But the wife and daughter wanted to go back to Arches, so we went back to Arches.



Park Avenue Trail


















Starting the Delicate Arch Trail at Wolfe Ranch






The start of the hike to Delicate Arch. This was a great hike!

Day 5 continues...



Still hiking to Delicate Arch



There it is



Delicate Arch!
This hike was crowded. The whole park was crowded. Reminded me of Disney. If you can come in the offseason it would be a better experience. But it was still amazing.



After Delicate Arch we drove to The Devil's Garden area.






and hiked to Tunnel Arch,



and Pine Tree Arch.

Arches was one of the most amazing places I have been to in my life. 2 or 3 more days in the park would probably still not be enough. But we have a permit for camping on the WRT! So we are off to Canyonlands!

More Day 5 to come...

Starting the switchbacks.



My girls checking out Musselman Arch.






Pay no attention to where I'm taking this picture from.






We took the drive down Lathrop Canyon to see the Colorado river. That is a fun drive.



And here is our Camp at Airport A. The size and vastness of Canyonlands is hard to describe or capture in pictures. It truly is a majestic area. I will come back to this place in the future.

Day 6 to follow soon...

The flowers on the WRT were amazing. My daughter was blown away and tried to take a picture of all of them. Here are a few just for her.

Day 6
58 miles

Airport to Labyrinth. I don't have the words to describe the size and beauty of this place. If you ever get the chance to wake up before daylight on the WRT and watch the sun come up on Canyonlands, do it! Every time you can!



Airport Tower in the early morning



Airport Tower and camps A & B.






Washer Woman Arch from in the canyon



If you can zoom in to the top left corner you just might be able to make out light coming through Mesa Arch.












Going up the Hogback




Day 6 to continue...
