The trip is from Lewis & Clark Monument, Illinois, to Kickapoo State Park, Illinois, by way of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona
Arches NP, Utah
The next morning we got an early start into Arches NP.

As you can see in this picture, there was already a long line to gain entrance. Arches is a very busy national park.

There is a reason for this.

It has singular rock formations.






We pulled over at nearly every stop to look around.




Or course, we parked and hiked to see several formations.





For perspective in size, note the people at the bottom left.

Some formations seem impractical.


Others, just impressive. One arch after another.





How big are some of these arches? Check these photos out.





And still more arches.




And other interesting sights.


It was too much to see in one day. So after we wore ourselves out, we left the park and returned to Moab to crash at our camp site.
