Fiery Furnace Tour

 

We had signed up online for the Fiery Furnace Tour.  We were in a group of about 15 people.  The tour was about 3 hours long with lots of stops along the way describing what makes an arch, the native animals and flora. 

 

Our ranger was okay but we've experienced more engaging speakers in other parks. 

 

 

We were able to crawl through this arch and come out a different way.  The kids loved this part.

 We had many opportunities to climb on the rocks and bridge the gap.

One of the many arches we saw on this tour that met the 'arch' criteria:

1) naturally made (not man made)

2) can see through it to the other side

3) the span must be greater than 36"

 

Arches, Camping, Biking, and Hiking for Spring Break

 

The family headed out to Arches National Park in Utah for Spring Break this year.   There had been constant chatter leading up to this vacation.  Maps had been scrutinized many times over.  The excitement was palpable.

After spending a night in Breck to pick up our other passengers we headed out into quite a snowstorm.  The first two pictures depict this.  We were really wondering about 'camping' at this point.  The last pic is on our way back home.  We did end up having great weather while we were in Utah.

This is a mandatory stop for the kids:
