When Utah’s red-rock desert is mentioned, one of the most common images that pops into people’s heads has got to be Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. It is the single most iconic image in all of Utah. From commercials, to promotional tourist publications, to the Utah State license plate, Delicate Arch is everywhere. So it’s no wonder that Arches National Park sees some of the most tourist traffic in the state. There’s good reason for the droves of people who flock to Delicate Arch at sundown to take pictures, as it remains the most awe inspiring landscape in the west. And spring is, like everywhere in Southern Utah, an ideal time of year to make the pilgrimage.
