actual arches

here are few more photos from our trip that show some of the amazing arches you see at "arches national park" emily and i took a solo hike together and enjoyed trying to stay on the trail and the wide open space, the desert is so massive it feels like an ocean when you get deep into it.

someone had placed stacks of rocks along this entire trail and several times it really helped us out of a jam. emily put tiny rocks on top and/or fixed stacks that had fallen over along the way

so glad we took the plunge to hike this together, 2 hours of up and down and round and round, searching for the trail and finding the hidden arches was just what i needed on this trip!

  1. The pic with Emily putting the tiny rock on top of the others is just gorgeous of her. She is totally immersed in her art. Just awesome!
