Day 10 (Decent from the mountains)

Today we drove out of the mountains and into the Utah desert. We actually had a 20 degree temperature increase. We reached Arches National Park

Arches Welcome

This park is home to some of the most amazing rock features. All of which have been created by millions of years of sediment being laid down when this area was covered by ocean. Then millions of year of erosion have left us with what we see today.

We spent over 4 hours in the park today, so we really had no time to do anything else today. We drove to Moab for dinner, then headed down to Monticello, Utah for the night. This was the closes town to our next destination; Canyonlands National Park. We checked into the hotel and hopefully we can get to sleep early. It is a little bit loud here, so hopefully we will get a good night sleep.
