They have opened up the national parks on Friday and they had to close Arches right away due to overcrowding, we have more cases here also. A good many visitors don't seem concerned about social distancing or being careful and we had eight search and rescues last weekend mostly people doing dumb stuff.
I am concerned for my health with the big influx of visitors from all over the country.

Back to hiking, we went to balanced rock mesa, an area that is a little out of town with elevation in the neighborhood of 7000ft.
No trails there so no danger of seeing other people, which suits me fine.
Some very nice unusual rock features and some nice flowers still in bloom
