Moab: Day 4


I finally have the chance to post the last day of our amazing camping trip to Moab. Since this was our last day, the morning involved packing up everything. As a group we wanted to do something together. We decided to attempt hiking to Delicate Arch. I say attempt because there is limited parking. I was really hoping that we would make it but also a little pessimistic since Lauren and I had already tried during the day time and were unsuccessful.

Before heading out on our quest we took a group picture. Some people are missing because they had to leave early.
 
The Whole Group - Almost

Once all the packing was done we headed to Arches National Park. We eventually arrived at Delicate Arch and found some parking. I was pretty happy. I had seen Delicate Arch but only in the middle of the night while taking sky shots.

There were a ton of people hiking to Delicate Arch. It was a beautiful day. Very windy but a perfect temperature.

After our hike was over we got into our cars and headed home. We were not planning on caravanning but we ended up with several reunions in various locations: gas stations, Starbucks, grocery stores. It was a blast.

It was very windy that day. Tumble weeds were being blown everywhere.

 Best people to travel with!

This trip was a blast. It was sad that it went by so quickly. I look forward to the next of Kiki's epic trips: next year's Moab 4.0.

Good times had by all!

Moab: Day 3

After a short night (see previous blog post as to why) I woke up feeling rather well for only having had three hours of sleep. It was a bright sunny day. I was excited that I was going to see Canyonlands National Park for the first time. Lauren, John and I were total tourist that day. We did a few short hikes but since we only had one day to spend there, I wanted to see as much as I could.
