Delicate Arch

[Bob Israel]

One of our hikes last week was in Arches National Park which of course included the hike to Delicate Arch. On the way, one could see people looking like ants on the sliprock climb. Once on the sliprock, the view looking back was epic. I was able to catch this 'crease' in the sliprock and use it as a foreground element. Then there's the arch itself which of course would not be a complete adventure without my wife taking her turn under the arch.

Very cool - you had some really nice clouds for your visit. Neat collection of shots with #2 and #3 being my favorites.

Great series, number two is my favorite.

That's so awesome Bob!

Since I have hiked up to Delicate Arch innumerable times, I can totally relate to #1. While in general we don't like crowds I would say, to watch people going up and going down, stopping to take a breath, etc it really does feel like ants on an anthill.

My favorites are #3 and 4. What a fun memory of your wife standing there. You had some really nice wispy clouds in the background.

Did you stay for sunset?

No, I didn't get any sunrise/sunset opportunities on this trip since the entire itinerary was out of my hands. But we used this trip to get a sense of the parks so when I go back, we're familiar with the landscape.
