Jeremy Dye, Tara Dye, Savannah Dye, Zac Dye, Bryce Ball,
We left around 2 p.m. on April 13, 2012.
Zac and Bryce climbed up a dry fall on the side of the trail. Good practice for escaping potholes when canyoneering.
Zac volunteered (against his will) to carry Savannah because my neck was hurting me.
We got to Landscape Arch in about half an hour. We stopped and took several panoramas and an HDR or two (on Zac's camera, not ours) then kept going. We should have detoured to Tunnel Arch and Pine Tree Arch, but we didn't know about them.
We weren't really sure how far we wanted to hike what with Tara being pregnant and all, but Double O Arch sounded cool, so headed that way.
