On the way to the national park, there is one giant arch one can enjoy.

The park implemented timed entry because too many people wanted to go in. My time slice was 2:00 PM, so I came back to the town of Durango for lunch and to walk around. The pictures of Durango.

Back into the park. I do not have much time to see as much as I wanted, so I need to decide what to see. If I can stay until 8:00 PM, I have about six hours in the park.

Near the city of Moab, there are two national parks, Arches and Canyonlands.
