Arches Ntl Park - Delicate Arch - May 18, 2010

Arches Ntl Park - Delicate Arch (8), originally uploaded by kimberzy.

I didn't go on the trail to this arch, since it had begun to cloud up and rumbles of thunder could be heard in the distance. My feet were also starting to feel the miles of hikes I had already put in prior to my arrival here. ( I got caught in a cloudburst on the trail to Broken Arch a little earlier). About an hour after I went to this viewpoint, it started to pour, along with thunder and lightning (it's a good thing I opted not to go - lol). Next time for sure!!!

This is probably the most-recognized of all the arches in the park. It is 52 feet tall and formed out of Entrada Sandstone.
