I just returned from a vacation in southern Utah. I had never been there before, and I was in for a real treat! On our motorcycle trip, we were able to visit Arches, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Parks. I was amazed at the variety of rock formations, not to mention the flowers, lizards, hawks, and other signs of life in such a seemingly desolate place.
This is my husband and me, standing inside one of the many arches in the park. The terrain is steeper than it looks, but the rock faces are much easier to climb than the basalt rocks found in the Northwest. They are sandstone, which actually grips like sandpaper. In some places, I felt like Spiderwoman, climbing the faces of the rocks with my hands and feet in what felt like a nearly vertical climb!
