Another day, another hike,...

and a couple more sandstone arches. Here's a gigashot of Bowtie (left) and Corona (right) Arches, a few miles west of Moab and a short distance off the Potash Road (click to enlarge):
The careful observer will spot human ants on the slickrock surface, midway between the arches. And, for fellow geologists, both arches are developed in the Navajo Formation (Jurassic).

Ed Abbey was bang on: "This is the most beautiful place on Earth."

  1. Definitely one of our favorite hikes! Lovely weather, too, for a day outside. We went up Powerhouse Lane to watch the jeeps go up Potato Salad Hill, but I'd say you had more fun on your hike.
