Delicate Arch Created by Natural Phenomenon, USA

Delicate Arch is a giant stone with a vertical curved space in the middle that spans an elevated space and its amazing shape was created by natural phenomenon over many years with the element of rain, wind and weather condition. Delicate Arch is located in Arches National Park adjacent to the Colorado River, 4 miles (6 km) north of Moab, Utah USA and there are around 2,000 natural sandstone arches and the most beautiful sandstone is called Delicate Arch which become the symbolic of Utah. After you visit, you won't believe how it stand still at the end of the cliff for many years.

When you reach Arches National Park you need to climb up to the peak around 1.5 mile (2.4Km) or 3 miles (4.8 Km) round trip which is very good for people who enjoy hiking to see the most beautiful scenery on the peak with a very big sandstone arch around 20m height. It is best hiked in spring and fall when the temperatures are cooler, or during the golden hours just after sunrise or before sunset when the rocks seem to turn a magical color and the air temperature is bearable again.

You should wear sport shoes, hat and take at least 1 liter of water per person as it is a long hiking which you need to well prepare as there is no available water for refill during the trip.

A visit to this beautiful arch is a must do in Arches National Park. Parking is limited and can fill up quickly during peak tourism months so make sure to arrive at the trail head early. There are also additional parking space but you need to walk an extra about 1 mile (1.6 Km) in order to reach the peak you need to walk 2.5 mile (4 Km) so you need more time and energy. We recommend to reach the park in early morning in order to avoid this problem or visit the park during the low seasons from November to February.
