Album Arches & Natural Bridges

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!

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.
