Sara and Beans worked from a coffee shop while I went back into Arches for a 6 mile hike from the Devils Garden Trailhead. The first stop was Landscape Arch.

The number of people dwindled as you ventured beyond that major attraction.

I stopped by Partition Arch.

And Navajo Arch.

The primitive trail looping beyond these was quite pretty.

There were mud holes large and small where animals drank.

I stopped by Private Arch.

There were beautiful pillars along the trail.

And a backdrop of La Sal Mountains.

On the drive back, I stopped by a new overlook by the Courthouse Towers.

From Moab, we drove up to Island in the Sky area of Canyonlands National Park. Beans had a nice nap en route.

The canyon views were superb.

We did the short walk up to Upheaval Dome.

We headed to the Green River Overlook for sunset.

It was gorgeous.
