Arches National Park, Utah Trip Pictures

Son in front of Delicate Arch in Arches National Park

Arches National Park is in eastern Utah and of course contains a great number of natural rock arches, some of which we photographed and put here. One of the most interesting arches is Delicate Arch, which is featured on the Utah license plate. We enjoyed a picnic and other hikes in Arches National Park.
