Arches



This is a picture of Delicate Arch in Arches National Park (Moab, UT).

I visited Arches back in the mid-90's and made the hour hike to the Arch. Needless to say, the view is amazing. There are many beautiful places in this world, and I have had the privilege of seeing many of them.

I've looked out over Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower

I've toured the ancient city of Rome and have stood in the great Coliseum

I've hiked and picnicked in the Swiss Alps

I've enjoyed a cup of coffee on Martha's Vineyard Island while watching the sun rise

I've golfed in Banff, CA up in the Canadian Rockies

I've snomobiled in the Grand Tetons

I've hiked in the Grand Canyon

I've had pancakes and warm maple syrup while driving through the Green Mountains in Vermont

I've camped in Arcadia National Park in Maine overlooking a cliff above the Pacific

I've spent a day at Mount Rushmore

I've driven through Montana

I walked the amazing Great Lakes coastlines in my beautiful homestate of MI

I've stood and stared at the Golden Gate Bridge

I've summitted Pike Peak

I've jogged along the Oregon coast while looking at the "haystack rocks"

I've spent time among the redwoods in Northern CA

I've hiked in the Smokey Mountain range in East TN

I've walked in Central Park, NY

I've spent a week in the lush, green "bush" while in West Africa, Nigeria

I've seen countless sunsets in the West Texas desert

I've been on the beaches in Florida and honeymooned on California's Pacific Coast 1000 feet above sea level

I've camped in the backwoods of Idaho

I've driven every scenic route in beautiful Washington state


But in my opinion, all these are a close second to the breathtaking red rocks in Southeastern UT.
