Arches National Park: Skyline Arch

We headed back down the road to see Skyline Arch, which we'd driven past earlier in the day.

After stopping for some road construction we followed this camper for a while.  This photo makes us giggle as it's so typical of how you really view this monumental landscape until you strategically remove the other tourists from your frame.  That said, December is the perfect time to visit Arches park as the weather is great for hiking and it's not crowded at all, a few of the arches we visited had no one other than us visiting at the same time.
