After dinner and a good night's rest, we were ready to spend the next day hiking. We started at sunrise and hiked until early afternoon in Arches. There was a point where we went "off the beaten path" and did not see anyone for over an hour!  Here are a few arches from our hike...

Tunnel arch

Pine Tree Arch

Double O Arch

We debated on where to hike for sunset on our last evening in Moab.  Corona Arch won when we knew it would be less busy than Delicate Arch(a very popular sunset spot) and all the reviews said not to leave it out.  The hike did not disappoint...it included a  ladder to climb, railroad tracks to cross and steel cables for handrails. At the end of the evening, 2 guys repelled from the top of the arch, which may or may not have been allowed, but it made for a good photo.

This hike was pet friendly and Hazel wanted to hang out with us earlier that evening when she realized we had snacks.

Sunday morning was our last day in Utah. Before we left, my husband wanted to rent mountain bikes and bike the Intrepid Trail at Dead Horse State Park. It was so much fun and definitely a great workout.
