Western Wanderlust Chronicles

Embarking on another thrilling adventure in Moab, we delved into the rugged backcountry of Arches National Park, uncovering hidden gems and ancient secrets. From dinosaur tracks to remote arches, each discovery added to the wonder of our journey.

Discovering Dinosaur Tracks:
Our day began with a quest to uncover the prehistoric past at Willow Springs Dinosaur Tracks. With the help of our furry companions, we followed the trail of ancient giants, marveling at the Sauropod and Therapod tracks imprinted in the earth over 165 million years ago. It was a fascinating glimpse into the distant past, reminding us of the rich history of this remarkable landscape.

Jeeping Through Herdina Park:
As we ventured deeper into the backcountry, the sparsely traveled Herdina Park Jeep Road beckoned us forward. Navigating rugged terrain and towering sandstone formations, we made our way towards our next destination: Tower Arch. Along the way, we passed by the majestic Marching Men, a testament to the erosive forces that have shaped this land over millennia.

Encountering Tower Arch:
Arriving at the remote Klondike Bluffs area, we embarked on a hike to Tower Arch, a hidden treasure nestled amidst the labyrinth of fins and spires. The journey was filled with dramatic scenery and rarely-seen rock formations, each one more awe-inspiring than the last. As we stood beneath the towering arch, we were humbled by the sheer magnitude of nature’s artistry.

Under the Moonlit Sky:
As the day drew to a close, we were treated to a celestial spectacle as a sliver of the moon cast its ethereal glow over the landscape. The juxtaposition of light and shadow added an otherworldly beauty to the already enchanting scenery, creating a moment that will forever be etched in our memories.

Our adventure in Arches National Park was a journey of discovery and wonder, filled with ancient mysteries and breathtaking vistas. From dinosaur tracks to remote arches, each new revelation deepened our appreciation for the natural world and the wonders it holds.
