Natural Arches National Monument

We left Hanksville, and headed east and then South to Canyon de Chelly.  On the way we stopped at Natural Arches, (not Arches, near Moab).

As you can see, there were several hikes involved to get down to the bottom of the arches.  Yes, I did the ladder and survived!   It was quite hot but the hike was exhilarating, and the quiet at the bottom of the arch was remarkable.
