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.
