An Early Start

The plan for the next day was to be up and out of the hotel EARLY and be at the Lower Delicate Arch Viewpoint before sunrise at 7:24 AM. During the discussion with the ranger the day before, she suggested entering the park one hour before sunrise to assure getting a parking place. K+V awoke even before the alarm, and arrived at the TOTALLY DESERTED parking lot WAY before anyone else. Looking back up the access road at 7:19 K+V could see the cars flooding in.
