Our stop was Arches National Park.

The great arches being the trademark.

These massive arches dot the land.

Like some architect had planned.

There were places to park your car,

 A walk to the double arch wasn’t far.

As we walked past sandstone towers,
We saw some late blooming flowers

THE DOUBLE ARCH

Moab was our next traveling break.

We had more park visits to make.

Another visit to Arches and its sites.

So we stayed in Moab two nights.

The park has fantastic formations.

 With signs showing these destinations.

Delicate arch is the best known.

In many guide books it is shown.

DELICATE ARCH

The Three Gossips stand around,

Like old ladies would be found.

It was great to see all these sights,

That included some short hikes.

Then on to Moab to where we stay.

Plan the route for the next day.

  South to see more rock stands.
In the park called Canyonlands.

THE THREE GOSSIPS

Mesa arch is the main attraction.

And standing proud to attention,

Is ‘The Washerwoman’ and her tub

Giving the clothes an extra scrub

The Grand View Point Overlook.

With views for any photo book.

You have views from this grandstand. Of the vibrant colors of this parkland.

THE WASHERWOMAN

Back to Moab for our last stay.

 Then we’d return a different way.

Cedar City was on the route back.

 With some time to go on a sidetrack.

This spot at times was overlooked.

But our Cedar City room was booked.

So we went on this short run.

Passing the colors of the Aspen

GOLDEN ASPEN

Cedar Breaks was quite unique.

 The scenery could not be beat.

It was really worth this comment.

Not a park, a National Monument.

You see the reds with ribs of gray.

View all the spires far away.

See the trees like blades of grass.

 All the beauty you can’t surpass.

CEDAR BREAKS

Then back to Vegas the city of sin.

We didn’t gamble so we didn’t win.

Unload our cases at our hotel.

Return the car and all was well.

Walking the strip, seeing the stalls.

Going in casinos admiring the walls.

See the casino first built long ago.

The fancy entrance of The Flamingo.

MARKET STALL

To see the fountains again at night.

Dancing to music and flood light.

As the show was really so nice.

 We stuck around and saw it twice.

An overnight stay then we depart.

Taking the shuttle to the airport.

We had seen what was our aim.

 But it was time to go home again.

THE FLAMINGO
