The entrance to Arches is visible in the center of this picture. After entering, we followed the main road up the side of a cliff and onto the plateau from which this photo was taken. The larger road on the left is the main road that connects Moab to I-70. For help in understanding the relative location of the pictures that follow, it might be helpful to look at the <a href="http://www.nps.gov/arch/pphtml/maps.html">park map</a> available on the NPS website.

A nice view of the canyons as seen from the Green River Overlook. It was close to sunset, so the light from low on the horizon was illuminating the haze.
