Climbing over the rocks and fins, looking at the spires and arches, make this another wonderful hike in Arches National Park. This hike also has some unique and special features that are well worth searching for...
Delicate arch is the most popular and most photographed arch in Utah. We were told it was most beautiful at sunset and thus can get very crowded at night; however, on a cloudy night, the crowds were not bad and the people watching was priceless. The salt mountains are the perfect backdrop for this wonderfully powerful, yet truly delicate piece of natural beauty.The natural amphitheatre that surrounds the arch may or may...

A beautiful discussion, a beautiful night, and beautiful company...
