Nancy and I recently visited the breathtaking and amazing Arches National Park in Utah. We decided to catch the beautiful Utah sunrise, before exploring the Arches and we were glad that we did!
Upon arriving at the breathtaking and amazing Arches National Park, we were surprised but happy to see there were no staff collecting fees into the park. We followed light traffic as we excitedly drove to our viewing site parking lot.

Awaiting the beautiful Utah Sunrise
After a short period of time, we were able to anxiously see the sun beginning to rise. We were both simply amazed with the breathtaking views around us. The red-rock Arches were amazing!!
After spending some time at the Window Section, we decided to take a driving tour of the 18-mile scenic road, simply incredible!! The sights which Mother Nature has created amongst the park is not only breathtaking but simply amazing!!
During our visit, we also decided to take the short walking trail to Delicate Arch Viewpoint. After about a short 10-minute hike, we were able to view the beauty of the Delicate Arch, another beautiful sight to see!
Enjoy Some Utah Four Wheeling
We were also able to explore off-road with our Jeep Rental. The park offers an entrance onto a road for 4-wheel drive vehicles. Nancy and I thoroughly enjoyed our travels off-road.
During our time off-road, we were able to stop and take some photography of our off-road sights. Our time together, 4-wheeling at the Arches National Park were not only fun but a time we will always remember! A cool experience for sure!!
