So I actually don't know how long ago we went to Arches National Park but it was a while ago- like almost 3 months so approx 10 weeks.
Not the point.
Point:
After graduation (walking) (which was wonderfully long and boring, especially since maybe 15 people received their diploma (holder) after I did) the ever kind Walton's took us to Arches National Park. They were coming down for graduation, bless their hearts, and had been wanting to go to Arches and thought "why not?" and invited us to go with them. And of course we were like "YESSSSS!!!!" We've decided that the national parks are maybe the best things ever so this was a great opportunity to go to a near by American treasure.
It was a wonderful weekend of hiking and spending time with family and friends.
I highly recommend Arches National Park and doing the Fiery Furnace Hike- not hard at all but go with a guide

Because taking pictures with a mural of Nessy and a shark is important enough for 2 pictures
Riding side-saddle because I'm a lady, obviously.
Yes we did get rained on. At least once.
And this is where Dan starts to be a fart and won't smile for pictures
Some pretty cool stuff went down when God made Arches
Still not happy about taking pictures but in his defense his knee was injured
Creatively named "Walk Through Arch"- we then crawled through "Crawl Through Arch"
You may be wondering what constitutes an Arch- well there are 3 things.
1. Must be 3 feet in at least one direction
2. Must be created out of continuous rock
3. Must go all the way through the rock
If you are all of these things, congrats! You're an Arch.
Delicate Arch, of course
Walked the extra 1/4 of a mile to see these awesome rock paintings. Worth it.
Christmas cards attempt- Yes we have matching sweatshirts, not it wasn't my idea, yes it was Dan's idea, yes I love it.
Not shown: this is a double arch meaning 2 arches on top of each other- we were on the bottom one even though Dan tried to get to the top one. #hubris
Best (and scariest) hike and also the most worth the effort.
