Utah Vacation - Arches Delicate Arch

We are now in Moab, in a very nice 2-room suite in the Best Western Canyonlands Inn.  Today we hiked about 3.5 miles round trip to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park.  We of course had lots of company as we scaled a large slope of slick rock.  We climbed a total of about 500 feet.


We've been here nearly two weeks but haven't tired of the fantastic rock formations.


We walked along this rock ledge to get to the viewpoint.


They make a big deal of the arch, but the rest of the scenery is pretty spectacular too.


Getting a photo of the arch without someone in it was a challenge


but I finally got it.  Note the snow dusted mountains in the background.


Then we hiked back down to the car.  The parking lot is to the right of the bottommost road in the photo.
