There were so many people at the parks yesterday, I was expecting crowds today. I made it to all three arches without seeing any other people until I was on the way out of the park. The first arch, Sipapu, is the second largest arch in the US which I viewed from above as the climb down appeared treacherous. Kachina was next and also viewed from the top of the mesa. Owachomo arch had an easier hike down and I caught sunrise just coming over the canyon wall. I really enjoyed this park and would love to come back to do the 12 miles loop trek. The last stop was a viewpoint of Bears Ears which are a set of mountains/buttes that look like ears.
