I wanted to try to get to a different angle of Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. It ended up being a 360 degree homage to Delicate Arch.

With the way footholds (sort of) were, behind/below the arch, I wonder if that wasn't historical access route to the arch.

I sat down and within 30 seconds a couple was offering me their phone....to take a picture of them under the arch. Ugh!

It was the route to the arch before 1953. There were some ladders there, too.

By Lynn Arave WE take the Delicate Arch name for granted today. This is no ordinary arch. It has not only become the symbol for Arch...

Scrolling back, and realized I loaded the wrong(worst!) pic of Hickman Bridge earlier.
And I really like the perspective of the second one I'll post.

Hard to believe this is the same thing!

We had never been, so Corona Arch was our choice for a leg stretcher, on a day largely spent in transit on our recent Utah trip. It was busy (I had to clone out a few others lingering around the base of the arch) but well worth the short walk.

On another "rest day" we ended up exploring a bit around the Butler Wash ruins:

It was warm at Tower Arch, Klondike Bluffs today. Should you ever go, drive in from the north, as Salt Valley rd from Arches NP to Klondike Bluffs was a giant washboard, the worst condition of any road we have been on in several weeks. The road is in much better shape north of Klondike Bluffs.
