Arches National Park has many short hiking trails, each visiting a wonderland of red rock fins. One of the long-ish trails is the Devils Garden Loop.
The loop is 7 miles fantastic long, taking you through arches, up slick rock walls, along the tops of rock fins and through a labyrinth of magic.
With out a doubt one of the most fun and interesting hikes ever.
Here are a few more images!

Arches National Park is one of the most stunning landscapes I have ever seen. Its even better in the evening light…
Trail to Delicate Arch
In the afternoon mobs of people make the trip across the sandstone trail to witness one of the parks most magical sights: Sunset at Delicate Arch.

The blue skies, the white clouds, the green trees, all offsetting the magnificent red slick rock…
Along the Delicate Arch Trail…
Really an unbelievable sight.
