The North Arch looks like it is pretty small, and only a few feet behind of the stones.
|
| Some of the small desert flowers or pods.
|
| The cryptobiotic crust is visible behind the white plant. It is the black rough ground - It is actually composed of millions (billions?) of living organisms.

Scud flying low to the ground, looking out towards the Devil's Playground.
|
| The plants and rock stiation makes for a very odd color combination. Not something that I'm going to see when I am home in Chicago!
|
| Some Petroglyphs near the Delicate Arch.
|
| Delicate Arch, which has become one of the most recognized images of Utah (It is on the license plate!)

For an idea of how large it is, that is a person standing directly below the Delicate Arch.
|
| Sunset on the way back from the arch. The landscape was amazingly colofrul, with reds, yellows, turquoise and many colors imbetween.

This isn't Delicate Arch, but Landscape Arch. A part of it fell in the early nineties and nearly killed a bunch of picnicers below it.
|
| One of the more forgettable large arches, I can't recall its name right now.
|
| Underneat the Navaho Arch.

An extremely rare picture of me!
|
| I ended up hiking with a couple of other hikers who were taking a mini-vacation from Colorado. I wish I could drive a few hours to a National Park like this!
|
| The FIery Furnace at sunset. There was a park ranger out looking for lost hikers. The stunted plants here are up to 5000 years old!
|
| The Fiery Furnace glowing in the late sunset light.
