Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

The Arches is our 51st Geocache and is located in Arches National Park.  Arches National Park preserves over two thousand natural sandstone arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch, in addition to a variety of unique geological resources and formations. In some areas, faulting has exposed millions of years of geologic history.The extraordinary features of the park, including balanced rocks, fins and pinnacles, are highlighted by a striking environment of contrasting colors, landforms and textures.  The Arches is one of two virtual geocaches we planted in this great National Park.  The coordinates lead you to the sign in front of this series of 3 named arches.
 

To log this cache as a find you must either:

  • Find the location and take a picture of yourself (or another of your team member) with your GPS in handand one of the Arches in the background. Then upload and post it to your “found log” on this geocache page. (No GPS in the photo - then no found log. Old Photos do not count for anything other than a logged note).

  • Or Answer the following question: From the given cache site coordinates - look at the sign and tell us the title of the sign and the name of the three arches in the picture.  Email your answer to ( TeamFamilyAffair@hotmail.com ), If your answer is correct you can count this as cache as a successful find.

 

 

We hope you enjoy this cache as much as we did creating it!

Finally I was in an area where it wasn't as foggy. It was a bit cold out, but I didn't care... I was in Arches National Park. Thanks for the great Virtual Cache.

Arches is beautiful in the winter. Four our picture, see the group photo from my son KEJDad which was posted just before this one. I'm the old guy.

I was caching with k0guz and sunshinegirl2003 today! Arches was practically deserted today. There was a family from New Jersey making lots of noise over at Double Arch! Thanks for the cache.

Found this cache together with FreeCastle in the Arches National Park. These Arches were amazing and they became much more beautiful because of the snow!

TFTC,
