A view of Delicate Arch on the side away from the trail that leads to it. The trail to the arch is a 3 mile round trip that gains and loses 480 feet.
Delicate Arch is one of the most iconic natural rock spans in the world. Many Utah license plates feature an image of this arch.
This is a free-standing arch perched on the rim of a sandstone amphitheater. The opening is 64 feet high and 45 feet wide. The Entrada Sandstone that makes up much of the outcrops of Arches National Park tends to form narrow fins of rock that are conducive to the formation of arches.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
