Road Trip 2914: Day 5

Today, after breakfast we took off for Arches to try to beat the heat. It was already 85 at 9.  We decided to check out Landscape Arch which was a mile trail. The kids weren't thrilled about a regular trail but found some fun things to do along the way.

The trailhead.

Shady sandy incline the kids liked to run down.

The arch. Last piece broke off in1991.

These were fun and scary for the kids to climb on.

Parker and michael went to the top of this big rock. Michael said it was super scary but Parker wanted to do it. If you look very closely, they are on the top of the second rock in the distance.  

By then it was 95 degrees and kids were done so we walked back to car and drove to delicate arch view point.

I picked up lunch at supermarket and we ate by the pool. 

We were the only ones there for about 2 hours. It must have been 100 by then.

We stayed at the pool until 5ish and then hung out in the room until dinner which was at local pizza place.  Then we had ice cream at the Wake and Bake cafe.  Michael and I considered our plan for Monday but when we realized it was five hours until Zion, we figured driving was our plan.
