Thanks for the feedback on the other stuff I put up. I've gotten all enthused again.
Here's some stuff from another park I visited in the States and, as others have suggested, they do it so much better than us. Yes, I know they have a greater population and fabulous locations but I have to say I enjoyed sealed roads in national parks for a change!
These are from the Arches National Park near a place called Moab, self labelled the "Mountain BIke Captital of the World".
If you think there are a few arches there, think again; officially there are over 2,000. The official way of classifying an arch, as distinct from a hole, is if it's over 3 feet.
In 1991, a rock slab 60 feet long, 11 feet wide and four feet thick fell from the underside of Landscape Arch. Aren't you glad you weren't looking up from underneath at the time?

Nice photos, brings back memories! Are you going to Havasupai falls? I regret I didnt go there, it looks so amazing! My favourite place was this canyon full of indian ruins built into the cliffs, but thew name escapes me. No, its not Mesa Verde
