Arches National Park

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,

Love leaves a memory no one can steal

Today, I am sharing some of the photos taken on our last trip to Arches National Park

*June 2012*

We drove from Santa Fe, north through the Colorado mountains, and then west to Utah

Drove by Hole N" The Rock

getting closer....

Finally...... 

Arches National Park, Moah, UT

These rock formations are known as Park Avenue, they are one of the first sites to see after entering the park (and it does remind me of Park Avenue in New York City, aww.... I miss NYC)

for just $10, you get to see all these? WOW, what a bargain

Another popular features of Arches National Park, Balanced Rock

the big rock on top is the size of three school buses

the hike up to the Delicate Arch

The 60-90 minutes hike (depending on how fast you walk) did not look that tough but my..... it is not that easy for me, to make the matter worst, we tried to get up there before it gets dark, I left my water bottle in the car, so you can imagine that hike.......

No, not yet, this one only qualified to call a "window"

just around the corner....

TADA..........

The 65-foot (20 m) tall freestanding Natural Arch is the most widely-recognized landmark in Arches National Park

lots of people waiting for sunset at Delicate Arch

Yes, Arches is indeed a sad place for me, my first time here was with a great friend in 2006, he passed away few years later..... *sigh*

I just love the colors of the sky when the sun is setting

Goodbye Aches, when will we meet again?
