Moab: Arches

    Today Sarah and I drove through poring rain the whole 4 hours to Moab all while worrying if we were going to get to ride some of the epic bike trails there.  When we arrived in Moab it was still pouring so the only thing to do was get some local beers and burgers.  When we stepped back outside the rain had stopped and the sun was shining.  Since most of our day consisted of the Drive to Moab we decided to check out what Arches National park had to offer.  We were able to see some really cool sites like Balanced Rock, Park Avenue, and the infamous Delicate Arch.  I really wanted a cool photo of Delicate Arch without any tourists in the frame so Sarah gave a few people the stink eye to help me achieve my goal.  It’s hard to describe how amazing the landscape is here. After seeing most of the arches in the park we were off to our campground, Devil’s Garden.  Devil’s Garden is located at the very end of the park.  There is only one way in and out of the park so it takes a while to get there but the views along the way are not to bad at all.  Our campsite was in the perfect spot and after we set up we watched the sunset over the amazing rock formations then hit the sack so we could get up early to ride SLICK ROCK BIKE TRAIL!
