WOW! Those are some of the best I've seen from you. Pretty good for a guy with a bun.

This one is really amazing.

Have you taken the back way in? I did that in August and it was worth it!!

I have seen it but never had the chance to do it. I thought they had blocked it off? I'm going to try and get back there this year. I will definitely check it out. Thank you

"Taken the back way in" only if she lets me...

Thanks for the pics @John M , we are headed there in a couple weeks for the Bronco Rodeo, but since I don't have a Bronco yet, I guess I will have to make do with the Raptor. I just briefly looked that the Willow Springs road and that could be a must do.. we are certainly going to be in Arches while we are there. Thanks for the tip @Chzhead , great to get tips from a fellow cheesehead.

I am afraid the back way will be closed soon. They are doing a dinosaur state park there and I assume they will monitor the entrance, especially since they instituted the reservation system for the park.

Thx for sharing! The first 2 - 3 miles into the park are definitely the most scenic. It’s fun to chase down all the arches throughout the park, but as far as spectacular views go, it tapers off pretty fast after about mile 3 or so IMHO…………..thx again for sharing, always love your pics.
