Often when a door closes, God opens a window with opportunities that are even better.
I headed down to Southern Utah with an intent to do a hike I have been itching to do in Arches. When I got to Arches, I was disappointed to find that it was closed down do to the government shutdown. So I started searching in the area, and was delighted to remember Corona Arch is right there. I think I enjoyed Corona Arch and Bow Tie Arch Hike even more than I would have enjoyed the Arches National Park trail I planned.The drive in along the Colorado River is absolutely stunning, and in January there was lots of ice chunks floating down the river.

There is a pull off with views of Petroglyphs that are
Petroglyphs Along UT-279 right before Corona Arch.
If you would like to see these better grab a VR Headset and be transported to a close view of these and the beautiful Colorado River. Just Search "ShaunasAdventures" on OculusTV or YouTubeVR.
Here is a link with locations of many Petroglyph sites around Moab, Utah

Then on top of such a great starter, the hike is just beautiful. People all around me were constantly talking about how amazed they were with this hike, and how incredible the views were. Plus you get both Corona Arch and Bow Tie arch in the same hike.
Often in life, we get disappointed when a door closes that we were not expecting, but so very often if life closes a door God is ready and willing to open a window that is probably even better for you and for your future. Listen, ask, and act on promptings, for God really wants to bless you in your life.

When I let my husband know I was heading into Corona Arch, he was a little worried and told me to not go in without my GPS info all downloaded and working, and to watch like hawk for the Cairns for they would be easy to miss.

EXPERIENCED ADVICE: WATCH FOR GREEN RECTANGLES AND WATCH OUT FOR ICE.
As I started the hike, I quickly found some people heading down from the hike, and asked for any insights and helps they had for me. They said, "Watch for the green markers along the trail, they will tell you the way, and watch for ice. So if you look in the pictures below, you can see green rectangles. They are new since my husband did this hike, and they make this hike quite easy. Just follow the green rectangles...it was great! |
