We started our 2 week long road trip to California with a 3 hour stop at Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. 
Cheryl and Chloe in front of Balanced Rock.
It's amazing that it hasn't toppled over.
Quite an interesting skyline...
Starting a hike that Phil said was only 1.5 miles long. Turns out, that was the direct road. The trail was more like 5 miles long so we didn't make it to see the double arches at the end...
Finding a cave to hide out in...
Of course, Charlie found a small stick...
The path leading to an area known as the Fiery Furnace.
Burning off some energy...
These towering rocks had lots of nooks and crannies to explore.
Stuck between a rock and ... another rock.
Using the camera self timer for a family pic can sometimes result in stunned looks as they hold their poses.
This one turned out a bit better...
We found this arch hidden amongst the towering rocks.
Chloe and her giant red sandbox.
All in all, a most beautiful park. We'll have to return another time!
