After a long day the previous day our intention was to keep the hikes on the shorter side. We started the day with what would be our most strenuous hike, the 3 mile round trip up to Delicate Arch. This was a more strenuous climb than anticipated but we reached the top and were in awe of the famous rock structure.
Photos were taken and we enjoyed the view from the shade for a short while. Eventually we climbed down and then drove to a cozy shaded picnic area near the Devil's garden to make lunch.
We continued the day doing short hikes to various arches and rock structures as we drove around the park.
From arches we made the 2 hour drive to Cortez, Colorado to be nice and close to Mesa Verde National Park in the morning.
