Today’s adventure starts in Moab, Utah, at Arches National Park.

From the moment we first saw Delicate Arch in someone else’s photo, we knew we had to come see it for ourselves. It’s a lot bigger than I thought. I have another photo with Caroline standing below it, where you’d see that she’s tiny in comparison, but this is the better photo. I intended to take a selfie of us out there, but my vertigo got the best of me, and it turned out that Arturo also has a wicked fear of heights, so he was staying even further away from the edge than I was.

Horses among the pictographs tell us that these etchings in the rock are relatively modern as pre-Columbian contact Native Americans didn’t have horses in North America.

Landscape Arch was another big draw as it is razor-thin and feels like it could tumble to earth at any time.

Balanced Rock requires no effort in the world to see it other than getting yourself to the park, as it is right next to the road. How about another park?

Dead Horse Point State Park, which looks a lot like Canyonlands National Park if you ask me, was the next park.

That’s the Colorado River out there; someday, we should raft that thing.

We peeked into Canyonlands National Park rather quickly but will save it for another visit as 10 minutes here won’t do it justice.

Welcome to Bedrock, Colorado, where the Flintstones were filmed back in the early 1960s. Fred once bagged groceries here at the Bedrock Store while he was in high school and a couple of years before he met Wilma.
