Arches National Park - Utah
We rolled into Moab, UT just before lunch time. One thing was obvious from the get-go - this town is all about the outdoors. It seemed that everyone on the strip that runs through town was either on their way to or from a serious adventure. I have never seen so many Jeeps in one place at one time in my life, excluding dealerships. Pizza Hut wasn't open yet, so we killed time by shopping at a local outfitter. I really wanted to buy a hydration pack and a canoe but settled on a carabineer and a power bar.
We ate at Pizza Hut and immediately began our tour of Arches National Park.

Straight from the visitor's guide, "Water and ice, extreme temperatures, and underground salt movement are responsible for the sculpted rock scenery of Arches National Park. ... Violent forces and 100 million years of erosion created this land that boasts the greatest density of natural arches in the world. More than 2,000 cataloged arches range in size from a three-foot opening, the minimum considered an arch, to the longest one, Landscape Arch, which measures 306 feet from base to base."
