Delicate Arch is one of the most iconic of all the natural rock spans. It's not only the symbol of Arches National Park, but also appears on the license plates of many Utah motor vehicles. It was also shown on a postage stamp honoring Utah on the centennial of its statehood.
This photo shows the 65-foot tall arch in silhouette by the setting sun. It is one of the most visited arches in the park requiring only about a 2 mile hike to reach. It was formed out of Entrada sandstone and is a freestanding arch, which is what makes it so distinctive. To make it even more dramatic, it is also perched on the edge of a huge sandstone bowl on one side and a cliff on the other.
Remember, it's not just a photo, it's a story.
