We left extra early on Thursday so we could get in an afternon hike at Delicate Arch before the M&G:
Not many pics since the Arch was super close to the trail head. I guess I understand how it got its name.

After several people gave me funny looks for taking pics of the thing they called "carnes" we realized we weren't quite there yet.
Low and behold, we drastically underestimated the size of the arch:

*sigh* Yet again we were not-so-politely informed that we STILL weren't there...
Luckily there were some nice trail signs to help us find it:

Which lead us to Dead end which we decided to walk to the end to:
