Beautiful pic, but even more impressive in person. I was not prepared when I saw it.

Beautiful pic!! Love the colors of the sky behind.

Great park. Would absolutely go again

I give this arch another 10 years before it falls.

How does this happen? Is it created by wind or water or just birthed out of the earth like this? I must go see it in person.
_thinkaboutit t1_jefcde5 wrote
So true, definitely worth seeing in person.

Great shot of Delicate Arch! I love that hike.
AdventureBum t1_jeff1tu wrote
Wind erosion. If it’s created by water it’s a natural bridge 😊

Well this is still there, even though a major part of it collapsed more than thirty years ago, and it’s far more fragile and precarious than this one. Delicate Arch has been around for thousands of years and will probably continue to be for at least a thousand more.

Clouds paying homage by matching the arch pattern.

haha love this

How did you get a photo without people in it? That’s more shocking than the arch, at this point.
Sedated_Cat OP t1_jeft3w8 wrote
I waited for a good 20 minutes then photoshopped out the remaining couple of people. I never understood getting someone to take a photo of you under the arch from 2 meters away.
OkMarionberry2875 t1_jefvd2n wrote
Thank you much.
Bl4nxx t1_jefwsqa wrote
I can’t either. It’s madness. Great photo though!

Seriously, go to Arches. I went and didn't even go directly up to this one (called Fragile Arch) because there's a long line and a bit of a hike to see it, but there's a ton more to scamper around and see. Its gorgeous.

In fact, it was the result of water, ice, and wind erosion.

It’s delicate arch.

Also classic stock sky replacement

I didn’t expect the big bowl next to it, all the pictures have it out of frame

That sunset looks familiar

How were you able to take a picture without any other persons in it? At this juncture, that is even more startling than the arch.

This! I refused to walk the bowl to get underneath the arch. My fiancé made it though and got some awesome photos.
FWIW - going in February was the best. No crowds. We had the arch completely to ourselves around 9-10am which is unheard of during the peak seasons. It was magical.
Super small ice patches on some places but nothing that felt dangerous.

Beautiful. On my places to visit.

ANP has been popping up on my feed a lot this week. Always so beautiful.

It's had a few fun alternate names in its time because of it: Cowboy Chaps Arch, and Old Maid's Bloomers!

Beautiful

Kinda looks like that Chinese open hand over a closed fist greeting. The left arch being the fist, the right being the covering hand.
bcgroom t1_jegp6mx wrote
Nice! I was there with a friend who was taking star photos (so it was pitch black), and it was a bit scary haha. They actually went into it for some different angles and it was fine so it’s probably not as steep as it feels. At least there are some flat parts once you make it around the bowl.

We were there a few weeks ago and had it all to ourselves on a rainy day.

When I saw this in person I had gotten the scale entirely wrong in my head. I'd never seen a pic with a person in it so I thought it was 10-15ft tall. I remember turning the corner and just saying 'woah'.
The opposite with landscape arch, I thought it was maybe 50-100'. Was a little more disappointed seeing it haha.
