The Arches of Arches National Park


Double o Arch


For my mates it seemed to be a picknick walk, for me it was SSS: steep, strenuous and scary. I would have never done it on my own, I'm much too lazy for that. At several spots I didn't see the trail and on both sides there was only one way: 300 feet down. Glad that I'd worked on my fear of heights I carried on, being the last of the group as usual. However as I reached the double-o-arch I could have stayed forever just staring at it.



Delicate Arch


How are arches formed? Water finds its way into the stone, freezes and expands. But why is it so round? I have no clue. It seems like there's a lot of hidden geometry in this world. Posted by Picasa
