We decided it is important to be a tourist in your home town/state so we bought an annual pass to all the national parks. It's so amazing that there are so many different types of landscapes in Utah. As Grandpa Hebdon's favorite song goes- "Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds thy hands have made... How great Thou Art"
First up was Arches, we played the Arch finding game- competitively of course but after the 50th "no I said Arch first" argument we decided a mutual let's see how many Arches we can find would be better. The magic number was 25, 4 of which we found on the primitive trail and not marked. We got lost for about 10 minutes trying to find the trail again which could have been very scary.
