Here's a map of our drive yesterday....

The drive yesterday was nice, snow/rain/sleet mix most of the time, slow drivers, and a lot of reading for me. We got to Arches about 230pm and were thinking about collecting but then it started to rain; so we bagged it. Drove around the park a good amount though; real neat place. I guess the park has about 2,000 arches, including the one on most of the Utah license plates (it's actually called Delicate Arch). We saw a lot of the Arches, but definitely not 2,000.
We were a little worried that the roads would still be wet or have snow on them today; but our luck has stuck with us and the roads were perfect. We not only finished Arches but we also got all of the Northern section of Canyonlands done. I estimated it would take us day to do each of these sections; so much for that. I gladly accept my error on that one.

So tomorrow onto the Southern section of Canyonlands and then drive to Grand Junction, CO to finish up our last park of this cycle! Colorado National Monument. Should be done by Saturday afternoon...
Here's some pics from yesterday and today...
Balenced Rock... Really pretty crazy looking.... That boulder is huge, 55 feet high.
Delicate Arch - didn't have time and it was freezing out to make the 1.5 mile hike to the base of the arch; maybe next time.
Skyline arch
Double Arch
Canyonlands, the Colorado River is down there somewhere.
