Fee Free National Park Weekend

This last weekend, I went my ward, Holladay 30th down to Moab.  Unbeknown to us until we were headed south, it was Fee Free National Park Weekend!  We were going to hike for free in Arches National Park!  What a great surprise!
Our group got down to Moab on Friday night and setup camp at the Moab KOA.  We had dutch oven dinner, and the night air was warm and inviting.  We all stayed up talking and just enjoying ourselves.  But when we went to bed, since many of us did not take tents, we were able to look at the thousand of stars in the night sky.  I haven't seen so many stars at once in a very long time.  So beautiful!

The next morning our group got up and split into two.  About 15 who decided to go bike Slick Rock, and another 15 who decided to hike through the park.  I went with the hikers.  We hiked Delicate Arch first, and then Double-O Arch.  It was hot and dry, but I loved every minute of being out there!

The arch looked exactly like my license plate...only with people all around!
