Above is this weeks free desktop. Back once again to a place which has been featured here many, many times, Arches National Park. Arches is just outside Moab, UT and showcases amazing erosion sculptured rock with the main formations being its namesake, arches. My "how an arch is formed" speech was dropped some time back, but for those interested, this info can be found at the NPS site in the Links section. Unlike most of the recent offerings from Arches, this weeks photo is not from the Devils Garden section, rather, I wish to show probably the the most well known formation found in this park (one can find it's image on the Utah auto license plate), take a peek at Delicate Arch. Delicate Arch is this beautiful arch which stands at the edge of a cliff, virtually by itself. How this amazing piece survived its formation is something to ponder, and for me back in May 2004 when this was snapped, I had some time to think about it after trekking the 1.5 miles trail with a 480 ft elevation gain (yes, I needed a break (; ). There are some truly great opportunities here to experience this park the way you need to see it, close up. Numerous trails of varying lengths and difficulties take you right to some truly beautiful arches, lead you through (and on) the sandstone fins and other rocks formations, and allow you to enjoy the wonders of erosion found here! This is really an intriguing, beautiful and very entertaining park that contains more sights than can be explored in a single day. (:
