Re-Visit # 13

We walked a long way in 90 degree heat to get to Tower Arch in Arches National Park. It is the fist one discovered and it was the reason for the park to be established. It is not as well known or visited as many of the others. You drive across a dirt desert road for several miles, park and walk 2.75 miles one way including up two large sand hills to reach this arch. It was neat however to leave the crowds of people at the main area of the park near the road and get to this spot seeing only abut 5 or six other people all afternoon.
