Greetings from Arches National Park

I was hiking Angel’s Landing and got to the check point at the top overlook before you do the chains section. I decided to sit and chat with the 2 rangers working that station. One said she saw me hiking up and recognized my tattoos. They were both so friendly and put me at ease because I was a little nervous for the chains section of the hike. Thank you!!!

Sincerely,
Tori

Arches National Park

With more than 2,000 natural stone arches, this landmark park offers more of these distinctive rock formations than anywhere else in the world. Wind and water, extreme temperatures, and a shifting underground salt bed sculpted the red rock over time into the area's spectacular and often delicate shapes. These arches can be large and impressive like the famous Delicate Arch, or just slivers in the sandstone.

State(s): Utah

Established: 1929

“They are some of the most beautiful places in our country, drawing in visitors from all over the world. I love finding peace and solitude in our national park system and have a goal over visiting all the US parks. About 1/3 done.”
