The Delicate Arch

A visit to The Delicate Arch in Arches National Park (31 August 2012); the most famous of arches in Arches National Park and the most photographed. The hike to the arch was a good one; something that you might not want to do in the middle of the day. Getting there for the sunset was a good idea as the heat was bearable and the sunset view as very nice.
