<\/a>We stopped and took a few photos at Park Avenue and then at the Court House Towers.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As of yet I had not seen an arch and was wondering if I had been sold a bill of goods.\u00a0 ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/cowlesmountain.com\/Travels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ArchesNP00008.jpg\")
<\/a>Thankfully we\u00a0 ran into a ranger who could give us a map of the park.\u00a0\u00a0 Google maps is useless inside a national park.\u00a0 It shows the roads and that’s about it, so getting a map from that ranger was priceless.<\/p>\nNot far from the Court House was Balanced Rock.\u00a0 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfortunately Fiery Furnace was closed the day we were there,\u00a0 That sounded like something to see.\u00a0\u00a0 I was not disappointed as I got to see lots of arches while there.<\/p>\n We arrived in Moab Sunday afternoon with enough time to hit the Moab Brewery for a late Father’s Day lunch with a bunch of tasters and subsequent growler fill.\u00a0\u00a0 When I asked about getting some tasters, the waitress mentioned that Utah law only allows two drinks in front of a patron at any time.\u00a0\u00a0 I … <\/p>\n<\/a>That was and still is amazing to me.\u00a0\u00a0 You better come see that one quick.. I was thinking I should turn on the video recording as it looked like it should have fallen while I was there.<\/p>\n<\/a>After we left there, we arrived at Sand Dune Arch and that was an awesome short hike to a narrow slot canyon between some huge rocks. \u00a0Lots of red sand \u00a0we hiked thru as the name implies and a small arch hidden inside there.\u00a0\u00a0 It was maybe low 90’s getting there, but once in the rocks it felt like mid -70’s and cool.\u00a0 Could have stayed there all day!<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
