Up early and headed for home. We are ready. But what a wonderful vacation! The Delicate Arch formation was a great ending to a great month of travel. The hike was lovely, most of it up a massive slab of smooth rock known as slick rock. This particular Arch is the one you see on Utah license plates. I am sure it must have been sacred to the Indians. The immediate area seemed perfect for inhabiting. If I had to pick a favorite location in the Park, it would be this one.
It is all in the rear view mirror. So many thoughts and recollections fill my mind. It always seems to me that a trip becomes better in the days and months that follow . Dozens of things crowd my thinking ........rafts, rapids and rocks....waterfalls,washes and whitewater.....cathedrals,canyons, cliffs, and caves.....amphitheaters and arches.......eagles, eddies and emptiness. Most special of all was sharing it together.
We took so many pictures knowing they could never convey the true beauty and magnitude of these places we have been. For those of you who have been, you will understand. For those of you who haven’t, I hope someday you can.
