Delicate Arch at the rim of a red sandstone amphitheater, Arches National Park




The world-famous Delicate Arch, in Arches National Park, formed on the rim of a red sandstone amphitheater where swirling winds carried sand to scour the formation into existence. It was windy on the day we visited the feature, along with as many as one hundred other people. The other side of the arch is a small ledge and then a steep cliff. It's rather steep all around the bowl-shaped area, but we were able to position ourselves at the opposite side and get distant shots that the usual photographer might not.

The snow-capped La Sal Mountains are in the background to the right.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
