With a seven hour drive from Estes Park, CO aiming for an earlier arrival to Arches National Park in Utah didn't matter, because the views here are just stunning. Looking past the ancient petrified sand dunes with snow capped mountains to the east at Manti-La Sal National Forest literally took my breath away. The sheer silent winds brewing storms miles away during the sunset made this scene here one of my favs from this 2 week road trip very memorable
