The Delicate Arch on Flickr.
The Delicate Arch appeared all of a sudden at the end of a strenuous trail from the parking lot, at Arches National Park, in Utah. This arch is hidden from view, and the only way to get up-close to it is to hike about a mile and a half, under the harsh sun and a steady incline. No wonder this is one of the most photographed arches in the world. People seemed to flock around the base of the arch, taking pictures.
I had to wait till sunset, to be able to photograph the arch without any people around it :)

After an hour of strenuous hike (with no shelter from the scorching heat of the sun), we reached the Delicate Arch, one of the most famous arches in the world. At the north east corner of Arches National Park in Utah, it is indeed a natural wonder which leaves you spell bound. The arch appears all of a sudden around a corner at the end of the trail. I had to wait till the sunset to capture the arch with all its color.
Definitely a hike worth taking, if you are planning to visit the national park.
