Looking up towards Landscape Arch with its needle-like land bridge, which is the longest in the park (306 ft at its widest). At only 6 ft in diameter at its thinnest, it was once thicker until a large portion came crashing down in the 1990s. The rubble field may be seen below to the right.
Looking back towards the La Sal Mountains to the east, still coated in the glow of the early morning sun. On each side of the sandstone slab lies a steep dropoff.
A large rock structure to the right frames the valley of sandstone below under cottony clouds.
Double O Arch from up close, the lower O to the right is big enough to comfortably sit in, but not stand.
