Arches National Park, a Red Rock Wonderland
	Our bodies were designed for motion and need to move in order to stay fit and healthy. Walking is one of the best exercises there is for your body. It doesn't stress your joints as much as running does, but still gets your body working hard enough for it to benefit from the exercise. Hiking is walking. So it is good for you, but it's more than just walking. It’s also communing with nature. I don't know about you, but I find the infinite and ever changing variety found in nature to be one of the most beautiful things we have here on our planet. The clouds in the sky, the waves crashing on a seashore, the wind blowing in a meadow or amongst the tree tops, streams swirling and bounding toward the sea, and all of the other plants and animals that inhabit our earth along with us are all truly wondrous and beautiful things. Now combine the one of the best exercises there is, walking, with some of the most spectacular beauty to be found on our planet, nature, and you have hiking, or walking in the wilderness.
Arches National Park is a wonderland of red rocks and blue sky. The red rock landscape at Arches might feel timeless, dream-like, or even other-worldly.
