There was a new rule which prevents any guided tour to the wonderful Fiery Furnace in Arches NP. In addition, they are not allow anyone under 5 years old to enter Fiery Furnace, therefore, we just drove up to the viewpoint area and take a look of this magnificent place.
After that, we went to hike on the Tapestry Arch in the Devils Garden area. The trail head is inside a permission only camp site area, therefore, there were very few people on the trail. Practically it was our own family's private trail (there was a couple from TX caught up with us while we were on top of the arch). It was a 0.6 mile round trip trail lead to this triple arch. We took the opportunity of having a private trail and arch to take many wonderful photos.
Then, we went back to the Devils Garden picnic area again for lunch. We also found a nice rocky hill next to our picnic area, we climbed up to the top, enjoying the view and experiencing a little of adventure.
After lunch, we drove along Hwy 128 Scenic Byway to Castle Valley to experience the beautiful drive along the Colorado River. The sight of the sheer height of the cliff on both sides of the road which winds along the river was magical. We ended up at Castle Valley which is a small town along the Castle Creek. We stayed there briefly to take more pictures.
On the way back to the hotel, Maisie already had her nap and was ready to play. At this time, Talia did a wonderful job of giving her company and made her very happy and wanting to talk. It was so cute. It made the return trip a pleasant one!
After we got back to Moab, Jason ordered Thai food from Thai Bella which is ranked by TripAdvisor as the #1 restaurant in Moab, UT. They were surprisingly good and it made us wonder why there are so many Thai restaurants in a little town like Moab, UT. We enjoyed it very much.
