John Steinbeck, in Travels with Charley, said that Yellowstone National Park is "a wonderland of nature gone nuts." So is southern Utah. Click on an image to enlarge it.
We spent a day at Arches National Park. According to an "artist in the park," whom Michele characterized as "a bumptious lass," a photograph of the Three Gossips is a requirement of all who enter. We did not want to be arrested or sent home, so we took a picture.
Michele and Frankey enjoyed the scenery.
Here's an arch in the making.
A balanced rock.
Sandstone formations with the La Sal Mountains in the background.
A Shoe and Kev Special.
One of more than 2000 arches in the park.
More arches. Click to enlarge and see the people.
Delicate Arch is the most famous formation in the park. We couldn't go on the trail to it with Frankey, so we just enjoyed the view from below.
