Flowers of Moab

 One thing that was so surprising in this desert landscape was the vibrant colors that dotted the red sand. We saw red, yellow, purple, and white flowers of different shapes and sizes.
They were all so beautiful! I made Dave pull over or stop a million times on our hike so I could snap pictures.
We were here in April. It can be warm , but cool too. We didn't even spend 24 hours at Arches, but we experienced a lot of climate changes. When we pulled in around 4 it was hot and sunny. When the sun went behind clouds it was a bit cool. I think the temp was about 79.
The next morning we got to the park around 7am and it was drizzling and only 46 degrees. For our hike up to Delicate arch it was dry, but the hike down was a steady rain. I guess that's how so many beautiful plants and flowers can survive!
