We spent a majority of Saturday in the Fiery Furnace. This is a hike which requires a permit and only 75 people are allowed in the area per day. You have to watch a movie and answer questions about staying on the trail and not ruining the eco-system. Essentially you can be on rock or in the creek bed. Everywhere else is off limits. There are no set trails, so it is a day of exploring.....
Here are a few of our pictures taken as we explored.
After the Fiery Furnace, we spent a little time watching the kids roll down the sand hill just outside
of Arches National park. Deryn is at the very bottom of the picture ... I believe Brayden and Megan are behind her. Jansyn is the one coming down on her stomach just above the large rock.
After dinner, we had time for one more hike. I don't believe everyone had energy for one more hike, but they all participated anyway! We headed for Corona Arch
A beautiful blooming cactus we passed as we hiked
Here is Corona Arch... still beautiful!
By the time we finished, it seemed like a really fun idea to lay on the railroad track and get our picture taken.... Here are James and Andrew. James took several pictures of the whole family, then individual families, and then couples since he has the nicest camera.... perhaps we will be exchanging railroad christmas cards this year!
THAT WAS IT FOR DAY TWO.....
