DELICATE ARCH

Left the Monument Valley we drove north and we go to Arches NP. Just in time to get a lucky (very lucky) last spot in the campground and to go to enjoy the sunset in one of the things that we loved the most in this trip. The Delicate Arch. This arch by itself is worth the visit to the park. To get there you have to take a steep 3/4 hour hike. At a certain point, completely unexpected after a curve of the trail, you see this amazing natural wonder. The delicate arch. I saw it in pictures before. And I saw it far away from an other trail 3 years ago when i came here with my parents. But believe me, seeing it in front of you with the warm color of the sunset it is something that can drop your jaw. Leaves you speachless. It is something you have to see by yourself to appreciate. No picture can re-create that feeling. But because this is a blog, here some of the pictures we took there ...

And when you get closer you realize even how big it is. Can you picture Tina in her green shirt underneath the arch? It is really difficult to imagine how this arch got here. It is really a miracle. And it is all for our enjoyment. Definitely a wonderful gift. And a wonderful gift has been also the sunset that illuminated the arch. As soon as we finish to admire the arch we turned around and we saw this incredible sunset ...

An other amazing gift of this trip. Less than 48 hours into it and we have already seen so many breathtaking places. Really lucky to be here in this which is defintely a blessed piece of land. No wonder that few miles away from each other there are so many National Parks. And thanks G-D that these places are protected as National Parks. It is the best way to ensure that future generations will enjoy them as much as we are doing today. These are without any doubt unique landscapes and environments. A gift to all the people of the World.
