The world's longest Landscape Arch in the 'Devil's Garden' of Arches National Park in Utah

Unforgettable life experience of Delicate Arch remain in a state of excitement, we Arches (Arches) National Park, deep in the Devil's Garden, or 'Devil's Garden' and drove hastily. It is the longest in the world before it was to see the arch.

Devil's Garden (Devil's Garden) at the entrance, which caught the sun on the horizon is dazzling back light. (Arches National Park's location on Google maps click here, and the former travels park guide map for reference)

Return this form to the left toward the parking lot looking over rugged rocks and camping under the sheets, which, for the first week of Yellowstone travel plans had to book the camping site here. Change in the end days of a 30 day trip to the normal cancellation frustrated, but someday I want to use a time of camping.

Starting from the entrance of the terrible demon (?) Landscape skills ... ^ ^ It is a high, low and rocky trail has already deep shadow, is not easy to match the exposure of the photos. Adjust the focus turns to the dark place eventually, gum flavor was bluish white and the sky is shown in the photo and went there.

The Devil's Garden, which has 10 arches near our destination Landscape Arch is the longest in the world (Landscpae Arch) because it entered a left path.

Huge rocks standing like tombstones towering towering ...

Only about 20 minutes from where the sign came, the arch is not visible? Putting me in front of ah ~. Let's go closer ...

Naturally made "stone bridge" in the Landscpae Arch is the longest in the world looks like. Another photo of the arch, even the extreme right looks like this.

This breathtaking part of the arch is the length of floating in the air 290 feet (88.4m) and the receiver also, but most of the thickness of 2m high and there is not really a miracle that should not fall down. Especially in the old days, you can walk to just below the arch was, in 1995, 1991 and now the best part of going to a dozen meters away chunks of rock since the length of the rail, thus making the approach to be strictly prevented.

Once more, where Partition, Navajo, Double O Arch comes out to continue, and since that time the road is steep enough late had to return to the parking lot.

Mother and daughter go way back - to continue dancing and jumping

But down here in the dark garden of evil (Devil's Garden) ... Do not ignore ignore the silhouette of a dead tree.

Until suddenly a dark cloud coming at us, it is us who are It was only in the valley,

"We are not afraid!" Because everything is back to the parking lot after bobbing stride ... ^ ^

Ply to the south entrance of the park you drive a car, the extraordinary is not blue at sunset. National Park in under 10 minutes from Moab and four in the evening, eating nine o'clock at night the car ran over again for more than 1 hour struck the tent embroidered Green River (Green River) to be on his way to forget a lot of thunder and lightning that struck It was not the night.
