Arches national park in Utah

"I don't think we're in Colorado anymore".

We've arrived in Utah, home state of the Mormons.

We had a great first impression for Utah: the arches national park is cheap to enter (10$ for 7 days), not overcrowded (a problem with most national parks), and absolutely stunning. 

Testing my burning man bike out.

It's also not huge (so you can see everything and take your time), and keeps a good balance between hikes and viewpoints. A problem at yellowstone national park is that all mayor viewpoints are on the road, so you'll see people taking pictures from their car window not bothering to get up. Much less so here, which I liked, since I think views are enjoyed more when earned.

Camping is limited in the park, so if you go book ahead, or stay at one of many campsites just outside the park.

Let's end with some panoramas, why not?
