Sunday afternoon a group of us left for Moab. I had never been before so I was super excited! I wasn't disappointed either! I love Moab! It was a way fun trip. We hiked to Delicate Arch as soon as we got in. Here's the whole gang below with the arch in the background.
We ate at Slickrock Cafe while enjoying some live music then set off to the desert to find a camp spot. We found one alright, but pretty much in the middle of no where. We just camped out in the open under the stars. I've never done that before but I loved it.
The next morning we did the Double O hike. This is Landscape Arch, on the way of the trail. A section of it on the right has actually fallen off, the very narrow part.
This is actually ON TOP of Double O Arch, which is actually one arch on top of the the other. The boys just couldn't resist going all the way to the very top. Figures :) Boys will be boys.
You can actually climb on top of the double arches. Here we are! How rad is that?! You can't really tell you're standing on top of an arch though when you're up there. It was quite the climb.
That was probably my most favorite hike. It was just really cool with lots of different rocks and very scenic.
Afterwards, we went to the local Hippie Hole as they call it, a place to cool off, swim and jump from some cliffs. This was also one of my favorites. You hiked up to this swimming hole surrounded by red rock. There were different levels to jump from, but you had to land it just right as it wasn't very deep. I jumped from the shorter level and just couldn't resist the higher one. It was about 20-25 feet high. They caught a video of me jumping too. You had to just barely step off the ledge, right over the tree branch you can see, otherwise you would hit too shallow. Man, was it an adrenaline rush!! My heart has never felt so frightened before. What a thrill. I liked it so much I jumped twice, haha! Oh man, what a trip! Good fun with good friends.
