We started day 11 in great pain. A baby in the tent next door was screaming from 3am to 5am and it was about 40 degrees outside. With this in mind Howie decided to wake us all up and shoved us in the car to see the sunrise. After waiting for about an hour (thank god we didn't miss it) the sun finally rose giving us two memorable pictures and a certain hate for Bryce Canyon. Once the camp was packed up we headed out towards Arches National Park located near Moab, Utah. The drive to Arches was one of the best driving roads we had been on yet. It was called route 12 and in a twelve year old minivan it made it all the better.
From there we drove through Capital Reef National Park, a giant fold in the Earth's crust. From there, route 24 was the strangest road we had been on. About an hour later, we made a stop at Goblin Valley State Park, basically a Garden of rock mushrooms. We spent another hour there just climbing and messing around.
We left for Moab to see the Arches. Our campsite was the best so far and we had a lot of fun. that night we dinned on half pound burgers, steak sandwiches, and BLT's, then hit the hay.
