John suggested a 40 mile hike but I talked him into this one. :thanx: We did the long version to get the miles. We saw quite a few ducks and did a lot of sand walking on the way to our turn off. It was a nice little climb up to the arch and was pretty cool. The hike goes right through the arch. from there it was up to the Sky Island and on to do a little exploring. The views were great from up top. On the way back we saw the Delicate Arch before hitting the saddle and heading down the chute. We saw an Eagle along with few other birds and a few different flowers. It was a little warm on the way back and the sand walking wore me down :) . Great hike, weather and company. Thanks, LP!
