Life on the Open Road (April 2006 - May 2008): Through the Arches

About Me

I have been a full-time RVer for 20 years, primarily "boondocking," camping free without hookups, in the Western US. My batteries are charged solely by solar panels. I welcome your comments and emails. I also make trips to other countries, although not usually with the RV.

Through the Arches

Arches is one of our favorite national parks. One of the best hikes is the one to Double O Arch. It first goes by Landscape Arch, which is 300 feet long. A big chunk fell out of it in the 90s, so you can no longer walk under it.

The trail then climbs up to an unbelievable path, on top of one of the fins. What a view!

Finally arriving at Double O Arch. This is the "back" side, reached by climbing through the little arch at the bottom. Look carefully--someone has climbed up to the top!
