Those people in Washington who decide what sights and areas will be designated as national parks or national monuments really must know what they are doing. We have learned that when we are traveling, we will stop when we see the sign indicating that it is a national site of some sort.
The Arches National Monument is no exception to that. As you ride through the park and view one fantastic sight after another, you have to marvel at the various places we have to see in our own country.
The arches in the picture are amazing. They are small in comparison to Rainbow Bridge at Lake Powell, but I have not been to Rainbow Bridge. I really wanted to go there when we were at Lake Powell, but the price for the six members of our family was too high for us to pay at that time. I listened to the guide tell about this solid bridge that the Indians called a rainbow because they thought that a rainbow had come to earth and become solid there. It is big enough to have the capital of the United States underneath. It would have fit side to side as well.
I had to settle for the beautiful arches in the picture,
