Today dawned cool and cloudy. It was our first day on this trip when we would have to wear jeans for comfort.
Our first hike took us along the edge of some awesome rock formations in the woods. While there were many massive rock walls, it seemed that each one had its own "personality". One might have plants growing on it, another might be folds of smooth rock, another odd wrinkles of rocks. In some, caves were formed, and in others, the wall was a sheer rock face. All were different and exciting to explore as we progressed on the hike. While the path was relatively easy, there were some tricky spots where loose, wet leaves on slickrock made footing "interesting". We loved this hike.
Our next hike took us to two arches in the woods. The hike is short but tricky in spots. There are several sets of very steep stairs to negotiate to arrive at the arches. But the trip is so worth it. As the sign at the arches says: Few natural bridges in the world equal Twin Arches in size." It's hard to express how big these arches are.
We were lucky enough to have the arches to ourselves in the stillness of the woods. I felt so humbled by the beauty of the place.
Wonderful day in the forest.
