Another great hike in the Moab area. I didn't know that there are sooooo many great hikes in the Moab area. I didn't know about Longbow Arch, but along with Jeep Arch I found it in the brochure from a grocery store in the Moab area. Since I love any kinds of arch, we decided to check this out.
This hike has two bonus. One is dinosaur tracks. This was my first time seeing it. I didn't even know dinosaur tracks exist. Can you spot the dinosaur tracks? Two big one can be seen here. It is like a big bird track. This is under a half mile from the trailhead. Even just see this is worth it.
Right after the dinosaur, very big rock art panel is waiting. Maybe it lasts 0.2 mile even. Interesting to see some drawings are depicting hunting the animals (deer or bighorn sheep). It might be those Anasazi people's hope to hunt well.
This is another hunting scene. Interesting. Here is the longbow arch. The evening light hits perfectly. The color is amazing orange. Love this Utah rock color. We had snack under the arch. Always junk food is tasty in the wilderness. On the way back to the trailhead, we saw very nice Alpen glow. All the rocks in the orange and then in the back snow capped mountains are reflecting orange sunshine. This is quite unique scenery because high mountains and desert rocks are in the same one view. Not only that, it is the special time point of sunset. Alpen glow in both two completely different geology. This moment stuck with me and remain in my heart.
