Delicate Arch is the most iconic sandstone arch in the Arches National Park and it requires medium difficulty and 3 miles hiking both ways. It’s challenging and intimidating at some slopes where these photos were taken but visitors were undaunted and really enjoyed the breathtaking views. But unfortunately, the day after we visited, on 11/29/2019, two tourists from California fell to their death near this site. It was bad weather last Friday as we visited the Canyonland NP next door and had to withdraw due to heavy fogs, which might had contributed to the tragic accident. So do make sure the weather is favorable before you take up the hike and exercise your highest level of caution when you go. A pair of hiking shoes with proper gripping on rock is a must. Do not attempt to hike up there with regular sneaker or you risk your life.
