Moab, UT Day 2

During our 2nd day at Arches National Park we hiked the trail to see Delicate Arch. That's the arch featured on Utah's license plates. The hike to the arch is about 1 1/2 miles each way with almost 500' of elevation gain. It was very crowded at the arch!

Later in the day I hiked the Park Place Trail. It's a short 1 mile hike leading through a canyon with balance rocks and some huge fins. A large section of the canyon floor had some pretty interesting patterns.
