The Delicate Arch has become the unofficial symbol of Utah, it’s that beautiful orange-red rock formation on their license plate.
I didn’t really know what to expect, and honestly I expected to be underwhelmed by another touristy landmark. Boy was I wrong. First, the 1.5 mile hike was intense, climbing nearly 500 feet. Out of breath and slightly dehydrated, once I came into view of the arch I was taken back by how “iconic” it felt. Different from all of the other arches, it even looked as if a little viewing park had been carved away for people to stop and have a long look. People do just that. Stop. Sit. Relax. And take lots of pictures…
I made a few drawings.
