The curfew tolls the knell of parting day
Delicate Arch composite, Arches National park.
I found the hike to Delicate Arch surprisingly difficult. After climbing over fairly steep slickrock, one must also navigate a narrow ledge with no railings. A stumble can be fatal. I worried that my shoestrings might come untied. Afraid of heights as I am, I clung to the mountain side as I walked the final steps to the view. Subsequent research confirms that people have been seriously wounded or died from falls at this arch.
