Moab - Day Two

On Day Two we drove out of Moab to explore The Needles Region of the area. There was little hiking to do in the morning as we drove to overlooks to view the scenery. At times it felt surreal looking down on the terrain as if it were a scene from a moon exploration movie. We couldn't have asked for a better day to be touring. The sky was blue, the temperatures hovered around 50 degrees, but a light jacket was all we needed for the day. We also had the place to ourselves - no cars, no people all morning. Delightful.

After a late lunch we headed back out to visit Arches National Park. We didn't get to some major sites such as Delicate Arch, but as the sun was setting, The Windows and Park Avenue were very impressive. We had company at all these sites, but nothing like the summer months would bring. Fall is definitely (if the weather holds) the best time to visit the National Parks.
