Arches – Other arches

 

We were lucky enough to visit quite a few in the park so just another couple of memorable ones.

This area had a couple of arches which weren't too hard to get to but others required you to navigate a style of trails they called “primitive”. I could think of other names for them like “unsafe” or “are you kidding”.....

More climbing like that so we surrendered

Landscape arch. In 1991 a big chunk fell off this one on the right side. The left doesn't look too safe either so wonder how long till this one becomes partial arch?

Sand dune arch. Nice to look at but a little narrow on the way there. Quite different scenery inside this little section

A couple of arches which are very easy to get to but no less impressive are in the Windows area

P standing where the nose should be in the face between the eyes of north window and south window

Turret arch. Not too many people were interested in getting to the final one so much quieter than the others but no less impressive
