A Big Pile of Sand and a Waterfall



     It's been quite the adventure for the potato cats today: they've managed to sneak into the Great Sand Dunes National Park. These sand dunes were able to form thanks to a special combination of water, air, and sand all meeting in the same place at once. As the potato cats learned a lot more about this unique, isolated ecosystem in Colorado, they also had the opportunity to meet new friends high up on the dunes. 

     In addition to climbing as high as they could on the mountainous sand, the cats decided to go a bit out of their comfort zone and visit Zapata Falls, which are a few minutes away from the dunes. The freezing water provided the cats with a much needed cool-down, as the heat and lack of shade got to them while they were on the sand. As much as the cats attempted to avoid the water, they were unfortunately stranded in the middle of the roaring, scary stream. Thankfully, there were many around them who gave a helping paw to get the cats out of their predicament. It's thanks to these allies that the infamous potato cats were able to accomplish their goal, which was to reach the top of the stream and see the beautiful Zapata Falls.

Dead Horse Point State Park - Weird Name, Great Views

Image
    Even though the potato cats had an amazing time touring Arches National Park, they unfortunately had to cut it short and find a campground quickly as they had overslept into the afternoon. They wound up at the entrance of Dead Horse Point State Park, where the park ranger told them that there was one campsite remaining. After a small debate, the cats happily took the campsite as it would allow them to see the park in the evening and in the morning. The views (especially the sunset and sunrise) were absolutely stellar, and the campground was clean and packed with features, like a fully functioning restroom, dishwashing station, and a table. Even though they weren't originally planning to stay at Dead Horse Point State Park, the potato cats don't regret their decision in the slightest and highly recommend a visit to the park (it's a must if you're close to Arches) , 11/10 paws. Views that will make you go meow~ : ...

Really Big Arches at Arches

Image
     After their humbling experience in Mesa Verde, the potato cats booked it to Arches National Park to see what all the hype was about in Utah. The cats were not disappointed as they got to see the famous (not to be confused with infamous) Delicate Arch, which is proudly displayed on a lot of Utah license plates. The sheer size of the arches at Arches left the cats awestruck, and they would gladly visit the park again if they had the opportunity to (and they probably will). Big arches with a side of cat:
