After finishing the Devil's Garden Loop, we decided we had just enough time to do the Broken Arch Loop, with a pit stop at Sand Dune Arch, and swinging by Tapestry Arch--if we jogged a little.

We needed to have time to make it back to the visitor center to complete a required orientation for picking up our permits to explore the Fiery Furnace the next day.

Sand Dune Arch was cool--but the approach through the sand dune slot was probably the highlight. There was a copule taking wedding photos that gummed up traffic, but we didn't have time to wait.

We hurried over to Broken Arch and on to Tapestry Arch--both cool, but less dramatic than others in the park. As we jogged back to complete the loop, the trail runs through a fun rocky/fin area.

A great little hike to finish off our New Year's Day exploring.

We made it back to the car and hot-footed it back to the visitors center, just in time for the last orientation. Got our permits for the Fiery Furnace the next morning--our last adventure in the Park.

Headed back to Moab for dinner and a long soak in the Jacuzzi.
