Arches

I think this is my favorite photo from my whole trip (so far).

I did some hiking in Arches National Park, for longer than I had planned, but it was gorgeous and it felt good to exercise. There are a lot of tourists here, which takes some getting used to after the isolation I've had all through the south.

These are the Windows, as seen from Turret Arch.

Delicate Arch is probably one of the most-photographed places on earth, so here's my addition to the collection. The hike is not easy, but it's worth it. I rode out to the street viewpoint after hiking back - it's too far away to see much of anything. Up close the arch is massive and so perfectly balanced and proportioned it's just breathtaking.

Add my photo to the millions.
