Arches National Park: Landscape Arch

On Dec. 4 we headed back into Arches National Park to hike trails and see arches in the Devil's Garden area of the park.

Of course, the drive in was spectacular, here are a couple of the views on the way up to the north end of the park:

This is "The Organ" again, but it looks different today in the brighter sunlight and different angle:

This is Skyline Arch as we drove past it, we'll go hike closer to it later on:

Pulling into the parking lot at the Devil's Garden trailhead:

The trail heads off between some fins:

Just another view off the side of the trail:

And here it is, Landscape Arch.  This one's days are likely numbered, some chunks fell out of it in the 1990's and made it the skinny ribbon of rock that it is now.  You can't hike underneath it since then since it will be falling at some point.

Next up, we continue our hike up the trail to Double O arch...
