There are over 2,000 reasons that Arches National Park acquired its name. We saw just a small percentage of them during the five weeks we were in the area. Here are some of the arches that we saw.

The Long Hike
by Character Queen The other day we went on a hike with our friend, Star Wars Captain, and his mom. It was supposed to be a few short hikes, so we didn't take our lunch. Big mistake. It was one long hike. It started with a fork where you could go to two different arches. … Continue reading The Long Hike
Delicate Arch at Sunset
by Character Queen We went to Delicate Arch to see the sunset on the arch. The hike is strenuous, since you are climbing up rock for a lot of the hike. Nevertheless the hike is amazing! It starts with a fork where you can go see some petroglyphs, or go to the arch. We had … Continue reading Delicate Arch at Sunset
Goblin Valley State Park
by Character Queen The other day we went to Goblin Valley State Park. The part we went to is a valley with lots and lots of hoodoos. Last time we went (about a year and a half ago), we just climbed on the hoodoos; this time we went on a hike. We started off on … Continue reading Goblin Valley State Park
Fiery Furnace
by Mr. Bang I went to Fiery Furnace. It's a tour through Fiery Furnace, which is an area of Arches National Park. You cannot go on it without having a permit or being on a guided tour because it's so easy to get lost. The other reason why you shouldn't go in is, it's illegal. … Continue reading Fiery Furnace
Review of Ballard RV Park

This campground has full hook-ups. Full hook-ups is water, electricity, and sewer. It's a pretty small campground with no … Continue reading Review of Ballard RV Park
A Week on the Road – Thursday
Whew, I'm sitting here on Thursday evening at 9:23, starting this blog post, and I am TIRED! It's been quite a day! We just now got the kids in bed a few minutes ago. My amazing husband is washing all of today's dishes - he's also exhausted. In his case, it's because he was up … Continue reading A Week on the Road – Thursday
A Week on the Road – Wednesday
I regularly get questions from non-roadschoolers about how we homeschool on the road. Somedays, we sit at a table and work in our RV or around the RV park. Other days, like today, the world is our classroom. Today we drove an hour and a half to Goblin Valley State Park. On field trip … Continue reading A Week on the Road – Wednesday
A Week On the Road – Tuesday
We had an exceptionally early start today - we got up around 4am to do some star gazing and see the Milky Way arching over our RV. It was beautiful! And cold. And I was half-asleep. So we went back to bed. After finishing our sleep, we woke up at a regular time (7:30-ish) … Continue reading A Week On the Road – Tuesday
A Week on the Road – Sunday
I guess this is Part II in my unintended series: Life As a Roadschooler! A friend recently was teasing me about being on permanent vacation, because we're always doing such fun field trips. Another friend commented that my life looks "sweet and perfect." I actually started our Instagram account a few months ago with the … Continue reading A Week on the Road – Sunday
