My trip to the Arches National park

My trip to the Arches National Park.

Arches National Park is one of the most famous, and beautiful National Park. Located in Eastern Utah it has the best hiking trails, the most visited and liked is the Delicate Arch. It is 2 mile hike and is steep. Even though I have good stamina, I was tired after the hike, the reason being the elevation of the path. The Delicate Arch was formed due to various natural causes, the major one is erosion. All the rocks here are sand stone, the whole place was covered with salt and then with more sand. These rocks are not just made of sand they also contain clay, this is what gives it this brownish colour, and holds it together.

The salt and the mixture of sand and clay was pushed up due to the move meant of the plates. Later on these rocks were carved into caves, and later into arches only due to acid rain and the wind. The acid rain caused the rocks weathered and the wind gave it this smooth texture. When climbing up to the arches you must carry water and you must mind your step as it is slippery in certain areas. With this in mind it is a lovely place to visit especially during sunset.

While walking down I remember having a lot of fun especially in making a face using my cap, some stones and my sunglasses. It was an awesome experience that I had.
