This afternoon we went back to Arches to do 2 more hikes to see some famous arches; Landscape Arch & Delicate Arch.
The first pic is Landscape Arch. We think this shud be Delicate Arch, a piece fell off this arch in '91
and at the thinnest is only 6 ft. That seems delicate to me.
The second pic is just one of the "fins" we walked through. Fins are thin rocks that rise up from the ground, you can see what I mean.
Delicate Arch is the unofficial symbol of UT, it's on their license plates, pins, hats, etc. It's the 4th pic. Pic #3 is part of the hike in to Delicate Arch, it's slip rock we walked up to get to the arch. Those tiny dots are people.
Last pic is the last leg of our hike, we had to walk on to see the arch. That's Tom on that ledge!
Oh by the way, if you've been reading along you know we saw a German guy in Yellowstone and then again at Natural Bridges. We did see him again at Arches, at Delicate Arch, but I decided not to assault him this time and left him in peace. He had spent over 3 wks driving around to more Natl Parks than us!
My friends, visit your national parks!!! We encountered many Europeans, there's nothing wrong with this, I just think we take our parks for granted. Plan a vac or a long wknd & visit our parks!
