Arches again

[Bluegreen kayak]

While composing my last DV trip report, I realized I hadn't finished this one, and there are some pictures I'm very eager to share. Mea culpa. Picking up with the second part of the Primitive Trail:

Many folks follow the Primitive Trail to Double O Arch; look carefully to see the second, smaller arch underneath the showy one.

Much further on, there's one traverse that scared the heck out of me both times I've done it. As you see below, it looks like you're walking on severely pitched rock, with a considerable drop to the right.



This trip I managed to turn around and take a picture after crossing over. I was very surprised to see how different it looks from this side. Still a challenge but not as much of a nightmare as I thought it was.

And finally, some of the arches near the campground; easy walks to these curiosities of nature. First up, a favorite for children, Sand Dune Arch.

And Tapestry Arch, which I saw from the trail but didn't try to get close to.

My apologies for the long delay. I have another reserved spot here in September again; looking forward to showing this park to my son.
