In the Devil's Garden I did the hike which was 4.2 miles and took you to the Tunnel Arch, Pine Tree Arch, Landscape Arch, Navajo Arch, Partition Arch and the furthest was Double "O" arch.
It took me approx. 4 hours to walk the whole thing. The weather was good until coming back and then the wind was blowing hard and cold. |

Double "O" Arch. I had a hard time getting this all in the frame and the sun was not cooperating either. |

I saw lots of little lizards along the path. |

We had mostly rainy, windy cloudy weather at Deadhorse State Park. |

Despite the weather it was a fun trip and interesting. The rock formations were very neat. A return trip will have to be planned in the future. The Arches were very cool. The new visitor center at Arches was very informative. |

Coming home on I-70 on the West side of Vail Pass we found snow and it progressively got worse as we got closer to Denver. |
