A couple of weeks ago my wife and I spent a few days in Moab Utah, she surprised me with the trip for my birthday and I have to say it was one of the funnest birthday’s I’ve ever had. We booked a four hour off-road hummer excursion that took us to the Poison Spider Mesa Trail then to Hells Revenge pictured above. Hell’s revenge was pretty amazing, I highly recommend taking the Hummer tour.
We also hiked to Delicate Arch one evening to watch the sunset. The 3 mile round trip hike is a moderate hike, especially in the 105F weather. I was amazed at the size and beauty of the arch, seeing the arch at sunset is a definite must. I’m not a landscape photographer, I don’t have the time or patience it takes but wanted to share a few images that I took of the trip, enjoy -

What a great trip to take for the b-day! Looks like a lot of fun. Despite your comment about not being a landscape photographer, your shots are great. The Delicate Arch is always an inspiring photo.
Your visit last year is a glorious one. The Moab Area Travel Council has been marketing the destination for adventure for decades. The council just began a new department in 2009 for Another Reason to Love Moab: Meetings and Conferences!
