After visiting the Grand View Point Overlook, my friend said I could only visit one more spot before we made the journey to Arches because she was tired of looking at rocks and wanted to see pretty formations of rocks. So, I said, “Let’s do Mesa Arch.”
I raced her to the arch (and won!) and realized that this was the famous arch that I’ve seen in so many pictures on the net and on Instagram. Whoa! Too bad we didn’t arrive around sunrise, which is when the sun peeks through the arch. Mesa Arch is still a grand view at any time of the day!
