Delicate Arch is a 16 m freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park, near Moab in Grand County, Utah, United States. The arch is the most widely recognized landmark in Arches National Park.
Because of its distinctive shape, the arch was known as "the Chaps" and "the Schoolmarm's Bloomers" by local cowboys.
Without a doubt, it is one of the most photographed arches of this great park and the sunsets are especially crowded by photographers and tourists from all over the world. This is really quite a spectacle of great beauty.

Delicate arch located in the Arches National Park is one of the star attractions of the American southwest and when you consider the number of stunning vistas and geological features in the area, that no small achievement. We planned to get sunset at this amazing place on the second day at Moab. The weather was supposed to be perfect for the short but strenuous hike which we had to do to get to the arch. The only problem was there were a lot of other people who had the same idea and we were quite surprised to see the number of people at the arch location.
So getting a clear shot of the beautiful arch became more than a challenge as photographers mostly were set up to get the arch and mountains in the back and people were constantly walking into the frame to get their shots next to the arch. Thankfully as the sunset reached someone started yelling and the tourists were held off from the arch so we could all take the shot for a couple of minutes. I was using my big stopper to slow the shots enough to remove people and got this intensely colored shot of the stunning Delicate Arch.
Quick tip for those planning this hike, make sure you know your way back if staying on for the stars as we did. As most of the hike is done on top of a giant rock, it’s very difficult to keep track of the hiking path in the dark.

Today's picture is another old image from our trip to southern Utah’s beautiful Arches National Park. As a landscape icon, the delicate arch requires no introduction, it's usually featured in all its glory on almost all tourism-related documents created by Utah and even the United States travel brochures. The day we decided to hike up there, we had some beautiful light as the sun went down both on the arch and the snow-capped mountains in the background.
The hike to get to the location is a short but involves following a trail that mostly lays over a large flat rock which is devoid of many markers even in broad daylight. A thing to keep in mind if you plan to return after the sun goes down like we did. We were there in the middle of winter on a moonless night and my plan was to track my hike using the all trails app and then follow the path back to the car. We kept our iPhones charged and were completely confident that we will be able to get back as we stayed to take some beautiful star-filled nightscapes. Regrettably, we failed to account for the thinness obsession phone makers have these days that fails to give the phone batteries any cold protection. As soon as we took our phones out to check the paths, the phone battery went from mid 80% to zero and the phones died and became unresponsive. We were left to trace back our way in complete darkness without any way to identify the hiking trail and while wandering we met a couple of other hikers who were in the same predicament. Fortunately, we found a way to get off the rock soon and was able to get back to the marked trail to the parking lot. We learned a valuable lesson that day regarding preparedness in the desert and how quickly a situation can turn against you.

An afternoon hike to Delicate Arch to see the sunset. Towards the East there were very dark clouds gathering, and all of a sudden the rainbow appeared in the Arch. Magical!
