Delicate Arch

Arches National Park, Utah, USA · 2026-09-11

Utah's iconic sandstone arch stands alone against the evening sky, distant peaks framed beneath it.

Despite the name, there's nothing fragile about the geology here — Delicate Arch has stood freestanding for an estimated few thousand years, and erosion is actively still working on it, meaning its current shape is temporary on a geological timescale.
