Surabhi, Priti and I met up in Salt Lake City for Spring Break to visit Arches and Canyonlands National Park. We stayed in Moab which is 20 mins from Arches and an hour'ish from each of the two Canyonlands entrances. Both national parks are breathtaking - we spent 2 days in each. Arches had a bunch of trails but most notable was the hike to delicate arch. It was windy with sand blowing in our eyes, but it was a sight to behold. We went right beneath the arch at the edge of the cliff at the other end. The landscape arch hike was really good as well. For Canyonlands we saw both the view from the top - island in the sky as well as the view from the bottom i.e. the needles area. On the way back, we climbed up to the Wilson arch which is a standalone arch outside the parks. We took sandwiches to go from Subway for 4 days in a row. On the way back, we went to the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish fork which is 40 miles form SLC. It was a gem of a temple, and very surprisingly had Llamas that eat cut apples. Surabhi went crazy feeding the Llamas. We also saw peacocks doing their signature dance. Plus it was so peaceful in the temple premises! All in all, a great trip!
