Spring Break Part I - Arches

We had a great time on spring break last week.  We headed to Arches and Grand Canyon National Parks.  As always, we took a bunch of pictures.  I will post many over the next several days.  Enjoy!

The first day of our vacation was spent at Arches.  There are over 2300 documented natural arches in the park.  We only saw a handful, but it was enough to make us want to go back and see more some day!

A new state for Kaylynn!  She has now been to 19 states!

Scenic drive along the Colorado River through Utah on our way to Moab.

 

 

We made it to Arches!  The rock formations are indescribable and the pictures do not do the color and shapes justice.
