Arches National Park was the coldest I've ever experienced it. An icy blanket of snow lay over the dramatic red sandstone arches and unique formations. In the distance, the La Sal Mountains glistened with fresh snow.

We hiked first to the Delicate Arch viewpoint. Out on the slickrock, the wind whipped around us, numbing our faces. A gorgeous half moon had risen above this desert landscape, silver in the blue sky.
We hiked then to Landscape Arch. Landscape spans more than 300 feet, and is as thin as six feet in one place. A dramatic, sweeping formation, it instills awe in the quiet, desert scene.
