Thanks, Linda. We were lucky there were some clouds in the sky. Most of the trip the sky was a cloudless blue.

I had always wanted to do so, and never thought I would. Thanks to my father-in-law’s desire to see them, my wife was convinced. Here are a few that we saw in Arches National Park. There are quite a few more, but for most the lighting was not that great when we got to them, or we could not hike to them w/o leaving my 86 year old father-in-law behind for too long. Even though he said to go ahead, my wife felt guilty.
