Delicate Arch is one of the most photographed landscapes in the world, so nothing new here. But regardless of the fact that photographically it may be a cliched image of the national parks system and the American West, it’s still a spectacular place to visit. You can see the arch from a few roadside vantage points in Utah’s Arches National Park, but to get the full experience, a 1.5 mile, moderately strenuous hike is required. I was most recently there over the 4th of July and timed my arrival so that I would reach the arch at sunset. Unfortunately, there were no clouds to light up the sky on that particular night, but the afterglow of twilight and a half moon provided enough visual interest for a few shots.
Yes, the half moon and golden glow over the horizon totally make this! The next best shot would be of you sitting on top of it (or are you not allowed to do that?)
With a name like Delicate Arch, I think sitting on it might be a bad idea. This place looks incredibly cool!!! Another great magic hour shot Sean. This place looks so prehistoric yet it reminds me a bit of “Planet of the Apes.” The Arch also reminds me of some of those animation scenes from “The Wall.” Very cool.

I believe, yes, sitting atop the arch would be clearly against the rules.
