Delicate Arch

I had my doubts.

I had seen dozens of pictures of Delicate Arch, possibly the most famous landmark in Utah. I thought, "Pshah, whatever man. I can't NOT see it, but it's going to be disappointing and I'm SO not going to snap many pictures since that's been waaay overdone ".

Ha! I was totally wrong.

It was incredible. Even with the 100 other people there (60% French plus a busload of Chinese tourists who each had to run up and touch the arch--very cute).

The arch itself did not disappoint. But the setting was what blew me away. Right next to it was a gigantic slickrock bowl, behind it were the La Sal Mountains, and the hike leading up to it had my eyes full the whole way. I would love to go back in winter when there's no one else around!
