Started the morning at 5am and hit the road to Arches National Park (about 5 miles up the road) in order to get some sunrise photos. Turned out to be a gorgeous sunrise and it looks like I got some great shots. My Dad and I came back to the hotel and showered while my mom got ready. We were actually in the park at a fairly reasonable time and walked… I don’t even know how far. At one point the thermometer in the Jeep hit 103, but as they say, at least it was a dry heat.

After somewhere around 250 pictures, 15 hours and 3 liters of water, we have retreated to a hotel room so we can get up again tomorrow and take some more pictures.
