Arches has the highest concentration of naturally forming arches in the entire world. There have been over 2,000 documented arches throughout the park. As we first entered the park we were greeted with huge towering sandstone formations. The most impressive fact is that all this was once underwater! Just like the caverns in Carlsbad were formed, the massive amounts of water evaporated and carved out the mountains and arches that are now in the park. The park was full of attractions and little critters we spotted along the way. The weather slowly crept up from low 80's to a solid 103 degrees. We both felt like marshmallows over a fire pit! Don’t forget to DRINK LOTS OF WATER!
