After another nice breakfast, we headed out to Arches NP again. The first attraction we planned to see was the Landscape Arch. There is a 0.8 mile trail each way to see the Landscape Arch. The weather was still very sunny and hot. It was tough for the baby like Maisie, however, she hang in there and just act like normal without any complaint.
After a little bit tough hike under the sun, we finally got to the Landscape Arch. It was totally worth the effort. The scenery was magnificent and we took a lot of photos to justify the hike in this hot weather.
Then, we stopped by at Devils Garden picnic area for our lunch. After the lunch we relaxed a little bit and even got a chance to climb up to a nearby rock for fun.
Next attraction was the Sand Dune Arch. On the way there, we saw the Skyline Arch which is just on the road side. It was too hard not to stop for more photos.
Sand Dune Arch is reachable from a 0.3 mile trail and it has sand like the beach sand; interesting! The arch itself is beautiful.
Then, we went back to the hotel to get away from the hot sun and rest a little bit.
After dinner, we ventured out to Balances Rock area again to watch the sunset at 8:34PM. The temperature had dropped and we had a relaxing walk on the trail. While we were waiting for the sunset, we took more photos around the Balanced Rock. The sunset was not as specular as we hoped for, however, we still enjoyed it and even has a chance to see the moon peeked out from the heavy cloud. We had a photo to prove it. Of course, it was the master photographer who took the photo and made all differences on the effect of the photo. It was a long and fruitful day for all of us.
