After Canyonlands we went back to Arches for sunset and hiked up to Delicate arch.
It's a very popular hike, the parking lot was completely full at the end of the day. The last little section is pretty strenuous, and then you come up in to a huge natural amphitheater with little groups of people all around the edge. There's people taking turns to take photos in the arch, and people setting up tripods to take sunset photos. Then people actually get away from the arch as the sun gets low so they won't be in the photos, and everyone gets real quiet.
Here's a panorama from just after sunset (click to pan around)
You end up getting back to the parking lot when it's kind of dark
Wow! (Expressed softly so as not to despoil this sacred moment.)
