Finished riding, time for a glimpse of Arches

Once we were done with our Canyonlands ride, we folded our bikes back into the trunk of the car and headed out of the park. We stopped at a gas station that we passed once we hit the main road again (still a two lane road, nothing big about the main road) to get a snack and something cold to drink. Then we headed in to Arches National park. Since the park was on the way back to Moab, we didn't stop at the hotel to change clothes. Biking clothes were fine for our drive and short walks, but we both changed shoes - no traipsing through the sand in our stiff cycling shoes!

We visited the Windows section of the park, walking to the north and south windows and Double Arch. And of course we passed Park Avenue, the Courthouse Towers, and Balanced Rock on our way in.
