Dead Horse Point State Park. We were on a 9 mile bicycle trail which had signs for overlook spots. |
Xander. This part of the trail was nice packed dirt. |

Julia. This part of the trail was slick rock. |

Cool mural on the side of a bicycle store in Moab. |
Arches National Park - Landscape arch - believed to be the longest spanning natural arch in the world, spanning 290 feet across. In 1991, visitors heard cracking and popping noises while they were under the arch. They ran down the hill, and a giant slab of rock fell away from the arch making it thinner. No one was hurt. But since then, they have closed the trail that used to go underneath the arch. |

From Landscape Arch, we hiked a "primitive" trail on our way to see Double O Arch. |
Double O Arch - Below the large arch is a smaller one - hard to see in this photo - easier to see two photos down. |
People walking across the top of Double O Arch. (Again, not our people.) |

Still hiking on the loop after Double O Arch. The scenery was amazing. The clouds rolled in and the weather was changing. |
It began snowing really hard. You can see the tiny snowballs on the sand. |
This is what Landscape Arch looked like as we neared the end of the loop. Snow on the ground and gray skies. |
