Arches and Goats!


Corona Arch

Sarah (the other farm intern), Pete (her dog), and I took a morning hike to Corona Arch before farm duty began.  On the way to the trail, we saw several pictographs along the road!  Shortly after we hit the trail, we came upon two mountain goats in our path!  Pete was amazingly patient while we watched the goats scamper along the trail.  The trail was short, and quite enjoyable.  I was very impressed by Pete’s ability to get up (and down) the section of trail that had a ladder!  Corona Arch is very large and impressive!  There is also a smaller arch next to it that looks somewhat like a skylight through the rock!  When we got close to Corona Arch, a man came up to us and explained that he and his crew were taking time lapse photography of the arch and would appreciate it if we kept our distance.  So, we found a spot with a good view of the arch and the canyon and enjoyed the scenery for a bit.  Shortly into our retreat from the arch we ran back into the mountains goats!
