From the land of arches and canyons - Day 3

Friday morning at about 10:30am we left Richfield , UT and continued on I-70 East after having breakfast at Arby's. I-70 through Utah is amazing so far. It is the most beautiful stretch of Interstate we have been on so far. The view points off the highway were just stunning and no photographer can capture the immensity and beauty of the canyons and rocks as the I-70 passes by San Rafael Swell. I-70 through Utah and Colorado is considered an engineering marvel and among them is the San Rafeal Swell passage in Utah.

We stopped at a Subway in Green River, UT for lunch and took US 191 South towards Moab, UT. We got to Moab area around 4PM. We spent the rest of the evening at Arches National Park. I was marveled at the natural high-risers, the many nature's arches, and the elegance of  earth. We stopped at Park Avenue view point, balance rock, and the windows view point. We hiked one mile to the admire the beauty and the grandiosity of the nature's windows up close. We ended the day at the Delicate Arch view point and took some late evening shots. We headed back to Moab after sunset and checked in to a Days-Inn (Also owned by Indians...how funny...two consecutive days and that too in the least expected towns and cities).
