Arches National Park, an amazing national park with Arches, but not only
Utah is part of the Wild West of the United States. I love travelling there: it’s wild, red and hot. The scenery of Southern Utah is unbelievable, magic. I don’t have words others than “awww”, “wahoo” and aussi “hell yes”.

Around Arches National Park, it seems fairly even // On the right: a cairn to find our way

It’s possible to climb on an arch, as long as you leave it as you found it // Right: flowers in the middle of the desert
