Fiery Furnace- Arches National Park in Moab, Utah
Went with some friends to Arches National Park in September 2013. It was a beautiful place to hike and explore.

The Biblical name Moab refers to an area of land located on the eastern side of the Jordan River. Some historians believe the city in Utah came to use this name because of William Pierce, the first postmaster, believing that the biblical Moab and this part of Utah were both the far country.[4][5] However, others believe the name has Paiute origins, referring to the word moapa meaning mosquito.[6] Some of the area's early residents attempted to change the city's name because in the Christian Bible, Moabites are demeaned as incestuous and idolatrous. One petition in 1890 had 59 signatures and requested a name change to Vina.[7] Another effort attempted to change the name to Uvadalia.[6] Both attempts failed.
During the 1800s the area around what is now Moab served as the Colorado River crossing along the Old Spanish Trail. Mormon settlers attempted to establish a trading fort at the river crossing called Elk Mountain Mission in 1855 to trade with travelers attempting to cross the river. After repeated Indian attacks, the fort was abandoned in late 1855. A new round of settlers established a permanent settlement in 1878. Moab was incorporated as a town on December 20, 1902.[6]
In 1883 the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad main line was constructed across eastern Utah. The rail line did not pass through Moab, instead passing through the towns of Thompson Springs and Cisco, forty miles to the north.[8] Later, other places to cross the Colorado were constructed, such as Lee's Ferry, Navajo Bridge and Boulder Dam. These changes shifted the trade routes away from Moab. Moab farmers and merchants had to adapt from trading with passing travelers to shipping their goods to distant markets. Soon Moab's origins as one of the few natural crossings of the Colorado River were forgotten. Nevertheless, the U.S. military deemed the bridge over the Colorado River at Moab important enough to place it under guard as late as World War II.
Moab's economy was originally based on agriculture, but gradually shifted to mining. Uranium and vanadium were discovered in the area in the 1910s and 1920s. Potash and manganese came next, and then oil and gas were discovered. In the 1950s Moab became the so-called Uranium Capital of the World after geologist Charles Steen found a rich deposit of uranium ore south of the city.[6] This discovery coincided with the advent of the era of nuclear weapons and nuclear power in the United States, and Moab's boom years began.
The city population grew nearly 500% over the next few years, bringing the population to near 6,000 people. The explosion in population caused much construction of houses and schools. Charles Steen donated a great deal of money and land to create new houses and churches in Moab.[citation needed]

Produced by Utah.com Photo Tour The Fiery Furnace consists of a maze of narrow passages created by sandstone fins. The area is not large but it is difficult to navigate and so people are encouraged to sign up for ranger-led hikes.
Arches National Park, Moab, Utah - Fiery Furnace Viewpoint
Utah bills itself as America's national parks capital in spite of the fact that it possesses fewer national parks than California! Perhaps this is because southern Utah has the greatest concentration of national parks of any U. S. state. Although the very large state of California contains eight national parks while Utah has only five, California's national parks are very widely dispersed. On the other hand, all five of Utah's national parks -- Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands -- are situated fairly close to one another in the southern part of the state.
This proximity makes it convenient for tourists to visit all five parks in a single trip. Las Vegas, Nevada's McCarran Airport, the world's eleventh busiest, provides a convenient starting and ending point for a circle trip to see southern Utah's amazing natural wonders. Such a round-trip drive could be accomplished in as little as four days. A bonus on the return drive is the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona.
Spring and autumn are the best times to visit the national parks in Utah. However, for those unable to avoid the extreme heat and crowds of summer or the frost and snow of winter, Utah's national parks remain open year-round.
Three of Utah's national parks are among the best the U. S. has to offer. Zion, Bryce Canyon and Arches are the state's largest tourist attractions, accounting for more than 18 million tourists annually. The other two parks, Capitol Reef and Canyonlands, are much less visited.
122-square-mile (310-square-km) Arches National Park, a portion of which was originally set aside as a national monument in 1929, contains over 1,500 arches, many of which are visible from the 18-mile (29-km) paved scenic drive or after a short hike. Elevations in the park range from 3,960 feet (1,207 meters) up to 5,653 feet (1,723 meters).
Per the National Park Service, the Fiery Furnace pictured in this video clip is a labyrinth of narrow passageways and abrupt dead-ends among a series of sandstone fins. Though it does not encompass a very large area, it is easy to become disoriented or lost. Because of this, hikers must either obtain a special permit to hike in this area or take a guided hike.
A visit to Utah's national parks provides ample learning opportunities. First and foremost, visitors will be exposed to the unique geology of the region. They will also obtain an introduction to the native flora and fauna. In addition to seeing various types of trees and plants, they are likely to encounter mule deer, chipmunks, and other mammals and many species of birds. The ruins, relics and graffiti left behind both by ancient inhabitants and by more recent Mormon settlers are also evident in many locations in these national parks and throughout southern Utah.

Arches National Park - Hiking the Devils Garden - Utah - LeAw in the USA //Ep.33
We are living the American dream driving the Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica but we are doing some detours to visit some places we like.
In this 33rd episode, we visit Arches National Park and hike the Devil's Garden Trail. Enjoy the ride with us! ;)
Arches National Park is a national park in eastern Utah, United States. The park is adjacent to the Colorado River, 4 miles (6 km) north of Moab, Utah. More than 2,000 natural sandstone arches are located in the park, including the well-known Delicate Arch, as well as a variety of unique geological resources and formations. The park contains the highest density of natural arches in the world.
The park consists of 76,679 acres (119.811 sq mi; 31,031 ha; 310.31 km2) of high desert located on the Colorado Plateau. The highest elevation in the park is 5,653 feet (1,723 m) at Elephant Butte, and the lowest elevation is 4,085 feet (1,245 m) at the visitor center. The park receives an average of less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rain annually.
Administered by the National Park Service, the area was originally named a national monument on April 12, 1929, and was redesignated as a national park on November 12, 1971. The park is expected to receive 1.8 million visitors in 2018.
The Devil’s Garden Trail is the longest and most difficult maintained trail in Arches National Park – and it’s also one of the most fun. Once you get past the early sections you’ll be scrambling up and overlong, narrow sandstone fins (future arches!), ducking under and crawling through existing arches, and trekking through ruggedly beautiful backcountry that few of the more casual tourists in Arches will ever get to see.
The trail begins at the end of Devil’s Garden Road, which is literally the end of the paved road in Arches National Park.

Fiery Furnace Arches National Park Moab, Utah - Gary Leatham
Wow we found it AMAZING to play outside in nature ... and highly recommend it to all! It's so fun to cast the notes and hear them echo back to you off the walls. Here Gary Leatham is playing a Woodsounds Native American style flute solo outdoors at Surprise Arch, in Fiery Furnace, within in Arches National Park, Moab, Utah. The flute is a Midrange F#m Buckeye Burl, with Natural Burl End & Perched Eagle Totem. The video was recorded by Brent Haines with minicam using only the on-camera microphone about 50' away. This amazing walled chamber, carved by the wind, has an awesome natural echo effect. And feels other-worldly to play here with the arch over your head! Gary is the world flute player for Ancient Sounds (ancientsounds.org). He plays Native American Flute, Japanese Shakuhachi, Irish Flute & Whistle, and various Oriental & South American flutes for the group he co-founded with Wife Margo. Ancient Sounds has 8 musician members and an active performance schedule(vocalists, percussionists, keyboardists & piano player, guitars & didgeridoos).
