Delicate Arch - Arches National Park, Moab, Utah - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

Delicate Arch, a 52 foot, freestanding arch, like many other arches in the monumnet, is made of Entrada Sandstone, and was formed by wind erosion.

The arch received it's present name from the leader of the 1933-34 Arches National Monument Scientific Expedition, Frank Beckwith. Prior to that, it's shape lend it names like "the Chaps" and "the Schoolmarm's Bloomers" by local cowboys.

Surprisingly, this arch was not included in the US National Monumnet at it's inception in 1929. It wasn't until the monument was enlarged in 1938, that Delicate Arch fell into the park's boundaries.

Access to the arch is at the end of a 1.5 mile hike, which can get rather hot in the summer months.
