Trinity Arch, Muley Twist Canyon, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah

 

This is Trinity Arch in Muley Twist Canyon, Capitol Reef National Park in Utah.  It apparently is called Trinity, because it is a triple arch.  The first two are obvious, but the third is a much smaller arch just visible in the rightmost lower corner of this photo.

Bob saw this and many other arches on the 5th day of the 2021 Arch Rally conducted by the Natural Arch and Bridge Society from September 18th to the 25th.  The trip on this day was to and through Muley Twist Canyon in the middle east portion of Capitol Reef National Park.  We saw more arches on this day than any other trip of the rally.

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

Sheets Gulch Arch, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah

 

Bob just attended an Arch Rally held by the Natural Arch and Bridge Society from September 18th to the 25th in and around Capitol Reef National Park in Utah.  He enjoyed eight days of going on drives and hikes to see arches and bridges.

This image is of Sheets Gulch Arch, which he hiked to on the fourth day of the rally.  The arch is on the east side of the park up against a canyon wall almost looking like it's just leaning against the top of the sandstone formation.  The group could see it from the canyon bottom, but several of the hikers, including Bob, scrambled up the slope to get a closer look and even walk through the opening of the arch.

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