SNAP*Shot: Delicate Arch
Delicate Arch is the most famous arch in Arches National Park. It is a symbol of Utah, appearing on their license plates and many brochures, and is also one of the most famous geologic features in the world. The light opening beneath Delicate Arch is 46 feet high and 32 feet wide, making it the largest free-standing arch in the park.
