I've never been to Rome or Greece to see ancient ruins, yet these massive rock formations at Arches National park that were created by natural forces made me think these are some of the world's most ancient ruins . Giant rocks look as though they rising from the earth, when they've actually been exposed from the top down by millions of years of weather and erosion. They look very much like massive Native American faces, totem poles, mammoth animals and tributes to gods rising from the earth to the sky. It made us pause and wonder if there aren't some other forces at work to create this unique space in the universe - maybe aliens!
The Balance Rock looks stategically placed and yet it seems like it is tetering on the edge ready to fall at any moment. Monica is a managing to keep it in just the right spot; hope her cellphone doesn't vibrate!
Arches National Park is one of the finest examples of the delicate balance of nature with over 2,000 natural sandstone arches. It was very different than anything we've ever seen anywhere else, especially in New England! Moab, Utah was just supposed to be a sleepover stop on our way from South Dakota to the Grand Canyon, yet it turned out to be a fantastic surprise for all of us.
