We woke today to pouring rain and dark skies. Today is suppose to be the rainiest day of the week with breaks of sun later in the day.
Around noon we headed back to Arches and once again were amazed at how different everything looked framed by overcast skies.
We hiked to Turret Arch another uphill climb but worth the effort.
Then it was on to the Double Arch - the arch with a personality.
Ron decided he wanted to climb to the top. I got half-way up but turned back. My short legs work against me when trying to get from one level to the next.
Getting back to the car we had to walk up approx. 100 steps. We both did great and didn’t have to stop at all.
We then went to have a picnic lunch. Our three hour window of good weather came to an end with dark skies and the threat of rain once again. We decided rather then take a chance getting caught in another rain storm we would head back to the CG.
Unfortunately, I developed sciatica pain just before getting to the car. What???? I was fine, then WHAM – excruciating pain. I spent the rest of the afternoon with an ice pack. Can’t let this stop me now.
Tomorrow , if all is well will return and finish the last of the hikes we want to do. The weather is predicted to be warm and sunny.
