How We Spent Black Friday

"From sun up to sun down, we got to explore 10 plus arches formed by mother nature. We also got to catch a once in a lifetime sunset at Dead Horse Point State Park. The weather was about 40 degrees with a pretty brisk wind but the sun helped keep us warm.

 

We arrived late Thanksgiving evening to Moab and spent the night in a cheap roadside motel and woke up early and to grab food for breakfast and lunch at the local market. We drove a short 3 miles from Moab to the park entrance and headed straight to Delicate Arch to beat the crowds. After a pretty mellow 1.5 mile hike into the arch, we hit the road to Devil's Garden where we saw 4 other arches within a 1 mile hike.

 

To cap things off, we finished the afternoon by seeing the sites at Windows. We left the park about 3pm and had about 2 hours of daylight still and decided to head to Dead Horse State Park. We caught a once in a lifetime sunset.

 

It was a little busy with tourists and the weather wasn't 70 and sunny but a day outdoors beats any day in the office or in a crowded shopping mall."
