Arches National Park - Red Rock Formation

During my trip in October, I took many photos of "Red Rock Country".  Six months after the trip, I have taken time to review my photos and post some on this blog.  These are also available for sale from my web gallery.

There are some awesome rad rock formations in Arches National Park.  I do not remember the name of this formation.  I do like the way the morning sun makes the rock glisten.

Intrepid Trail View

Out of Moab, UT is Dead Horse State Park.  The photo below was taken while stopped on my bicycle trail on the Intrepid Trail.  Its great that this State Park has trails for mountain bike riders and hikers.  Would love to be back there, specially considering the Spring we have been having in Iowa.
