Double ArchWe saw lots of arches today. We visited the Windows portion of the Park to hike to North and South Window as well as Turret Arch. Then it was a short walk to one of my favorite arches, Double Arch. This was a former pothole that eventually lost it’s center forming two adjacent arches. In the afternoon, I took the short, but strenuous hike to delicate arch. I couldn’t believe the number of people who were doing this hike. A good portion of the trail goes over slick rock, and even here you could tell where the trail was because of the darkened portion in the stone. The hike was well worth it, I couldn’t believe how incredible delicate arch is. It was much larger than I expected and so isolated from any other rock formations, you wonder how it came to form here. Simply incredible! We tried to take one of the 4 wheel drive roads out of the park, but it proved too much for us! It climbed straight up a hill with deep ruts and we decided not to chance getting stuck.
