It was a rainy day, so hiking was out.  That did not keep us from driving to the Visitor's Center at Arches National Park to get ideas for planning our exploration of the area.  The visitor center had a pretty nice display that helped in understanding the unique geology that led to more than 2,000 arches in the park.

Joani made sure she had all of the info on ranger-led hikes.  We usually learn a lot and have some fun too, as the Rangers lead us on group hikes.

Looking forward to a rain-free day to take advantage of the ranger-led hikes...

...and a clear night to view the skies.

On the way home, we also stopped in the Moab Visitor's Center to get information on the overall area including Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park (our neighbor Larry said the $10 fee at Dead Horse Point gave you a $1,000,000 view!).  This area includes a lot of unique and beautiful landscapes for camping, hiking, boating, fishing, mountain bike riding, jeeping (I think half of the people in the OK RV park have Jeeps) and then there are all of the winter activities as well.

As I was pulling out of the lot at the Moab Visitor Center, I stopped cold looking across the street.  I will have to visit this salon and see about their very unusual name!
