The Great Western Tour of Breakfast Sandwiches continues. They didn’t wafflize the fixins but the sundried tomato bagel was choice.
And then a full day in the Moab Office. I think my coworkers have realized I’m on the move — this Best Western’s room decor and maroon accent wall call a little more attention to themselves in video calls than I wish they did.
After a long slog of meetings, I took a break and headed up to Arches National Park, since last time I was in the area, I went to Canyonlands, which is more or less across the street.
Two short hikes today, as recommended by a dear friend who was here recently. First up, the iconic Delicate Arch. The hike was pretty packed and the final viewpoint looked like an outdoor concert with people waiting for sunset. Everyone has seen a million pictures of this formation but I was not prepared for how large it is.
Between the cloud cover to the west and that this is my only night here, I went back out for the Devil’s Garden area to check out the Landscape and Double O Arches.

Past Landscape Arch, the trail turned into a rock scramble that was only lightly marked with cairns and branches. It was awesome. Or would have been had it not gotten dark on me.
I busted out my climbing headlamp for the way back, but if I was still in Montana right now, I definitely would have been eaten by bears.
