Nice job, Cheryl. Hsi, hsi! Thanks for taking us on a hike you enjoyed. I've been to Arches several times, but at least 10 years ago, and I don't remember hearing about this. Whether you're a foreign visitor or a recent immigrant, I'm glad you're an atypical national park tourist. Most drive through and take pictures from their car windows.
2:18 You're only partly correct about the water. An ancient sea covered the grounds around Arches, but that isn't what caused the formation of the rocks. That is the ecological forces that occurred after the seas receded. It is the layers of salt crystals separating the rock layers that erode away causing the current formations we have. One of the cool things about Arches is the roadside rocks with small caves underneath them show this process. it is really cool. Excellent video overall.
Very nice video; thanks for posting it, Cheryl. We just got back from a trip to the Utah parks. We didn't do the fiery furnace walk, but it sure looks like an interesting hike (ass-scooching and all).

Thanks for the information. It helps us understand the world better.
Thank you. That was really informative video, gave a good idea what to expect there.
Thanks!

Added a new term to my vocabulary: ass-scooching. I am fully equipped in that department.
