Arches was great for us because you can see most of the park's prized attractions from your car or by taking just a short hike. Since dogs are not allowed on trails in National Parks, one of us would stay with the dog around the parking lot while the other would take short hikes to see the arches.
Balanced Rock.
North Window and South Window.
Double Arch.
A ranger at Arches suggested this dog friendly trail just outside the park into Negro Bill Canyon.
This was one of my favorite hikes on our trip so far mostly because Pirate had a blast exploring her surroundings and running through the many streams we had to cross.
At the end of the 4 mile trail we were rewarded with a great view of the 6th largest natural bridge in the world.
Lunch at the van after the 8 mile hike. Look at Pirate's clay colored feet.
While leaving Moab we checked out a roadside crag a few miles away from Arches NP. We saw people belaying from the beds of their pickups.
Rebecca just had to climb this massive sand dune we saw while leaving Moab. A few minutes later a bus full of kids pulled up and took over the place.
Next up was Zion National Park, one of my favorite places in the US.
People were busy building cairns along the Virgin River.

i'd love to see more thorough captions... i think i saw a WATERFALL in one of the zion photos , but there was no mention of it....
my suggestion.... never leave any photo uncaptioned..
loved the pirate/adam van life photo!!!
wonder how i can get someone to take a photo of me in the van without it looking too staged....?
