Sitting in the shade of the arch. Lots of people sit in the shade of arches.
There sure aren't many trees!

Looking straight up at the arch. The rail line to a nearby potash mine. One train a week runs to the mine.
I could have climbed to the top of the arch using this line of hand-holes. - I decided not to because it might have irritated my bad toe joint. - I did not want to be hobbling around Moab for the next week instead of hiking! - So I turned around at the point you see me. Native American graffiti, probably predating the white man. It's all over Utah. - They call them 'petroglyphs.' The Colorado River as seen from Dead Horse State Park.
The blue 'lakes' are actually evaporation ponds for the potash mine.
