Immediately behind the arch is a several hundred foot drop, but none the less, people scrambled all over around the base of the arch.

Arches National Park
This iconic view of Delicate Arch in Arches National Park is seen on many Utah license plates. It is located at the end of a one and one-half mile trail that includes soft, fine sand and sandstone "slick rocks" which are as large as a football field. It rises 500 feet along the way and takes about 45 minutes to complete. The hike is quite demanding, especially in hot weather (which is most of the time!). However, there were a substantial number of groups going up which included small children as young as four or five years old. I even saw one guy carrying an infant in a back-pack, and one couple who each had a toddler on their back.

Wayne and I went to Moab on the way to one of his business meetings. We had 1 hour to see things during his lunch break. Needless to say, we didn't see much and need to return. It is quite something to see isn't it? You feel like you are on an alien planet or something. Now, I want to hear about the bike trip.
