So I stumbled onto the Double Arch bye parking at a pull off way before the actual parking area. I hiked out to the back arch and then around the rocks to see that it was the Double Arch. I had to set my tripod up and wait for quite sometime before the shot was clear of any other people. This is a very stunning place, and the Double Arch is incredible!
You can good photos here. The hike is nothing. Wait for the proper light, which is late in the day. It's next to the windows and Turret arch.
It doesn't look it from the parking lot but this is very worth the hike and provides fabulous close photo opportunities -- both posed photos of people and up close great views of the arch.
I thought these arches were spectacular. HUGE. Don't miss these and the nearby Windows arches. A lot to see with minimal hiking. Only Delicate was a better arch. Don't miss this!
This was a nice and easy hike. It was well worth getting a closer view of the arches. This is very close to the Window Arch.
The double arch is easy to see from the parking lot/road, but worth parking, getting out and walking up to see them up close. They are even more fun to photograph them if you get just the right angle. Walking on the red rocks is a little surreal, and it's a fun super-mini-hike up to stand right underneath them. Bonus is that you get a little bit of shade from the harsh desert sun! Definite do-not-miss!
Back in the Windows section stands a grand champion - Double Arch. The trail is easy and it takes about 15 minutes to get back to this amazingly complex arch - you have to see it to believe it. If you have limited time in the park, I think this is a "must see" and highly recommend it. At sunset the arch glows a bright orange and is simply spectacular!
We hiked up the Double Arch right after our hike to the Delicate Arch. This trail was much less crowded and just as beautiful. We were lucky enough to visit when the sun was going down, making for some really cool images/shadows.
Perfect to stand beneath and get that memorable photo! Or just gaze and contemplate the power of nature!! This is really quite a large, stunning formation.
At first as you begin the walk to see these arches all you can see is one. You need to get close to see the double arch. Once there you notice all these people sitting up there for photographs.
