Arches National Park
November 24, 2003 near Moab, Utah
We stopped at Arches on the Thanksgiving Train Amtrak nightmare trip to San Francisco.
We had driven from Sedona, Arizona to catch the train in Green River, Utah, so we stopped at arches along the way.
The train, as scheduled, wasn’t going to arrive at 5 PM, instead at rescheduled for 3 AM, so being that there was extra time we back-tracked the rail route to Grand Junction, Colorado to eat and hang out.
the Train arrived around 1 AM, so all the best scenery views we now in the dark, the second day on the train, they were out of food, except “beef stew”… slow no glamour meal and only 1 meal… then instead of getting into Oakland at 5 pm, it was 5 am… with a bus to sf.
The trip back was much better and with the car parked in Grand Junction, drove back through some incredible Colorado mountains.
