If you ask me, for reasons above I believe Landscape Arch should have its name changed to that of Delicate Arch unlike the famous one in the park because it certainly looks a lot more delicate if you ask me! I have also further proposed that the current Delicate Arch be renamed to what the local cowboys called it- “The Schoolmarm’s Bloomers,” cause it really does look like that– but as is often the case in this tragic world no one listens to me.
But anyway, Landscape Arch is impressive because as you can see it has a span one usually associates with man-made steel bridges, but unlike those does not look very structurally sound. And the thing is it’s not- a giant slab fell off in 1991 which one tourist caught on video, at which point the National Park Service decided you can’t hike under the arch anymore. The idea that Landscape Arch might not be there in a few decades is a very real one, particularly when you know Wall Arch, a nearby companion that was the 12th largest in the world, collapsed just 5 years ago…
Plus honestly, if that wasn’t reason enough to check it out, the hike up is quite lovely. The whole thing is less than two miles and there are other arches along the way in this landscape of weird sandstone, such as Tunnel Arch-
The trail continues after this point to another famous arch in particular, the “Double O Arch,” which is supposed to be quite nice but the trail isn’t as good and the lovely snow everywhere was slippery, so I abstained. Next time!
Where is Yvette? 
How does something like that stay standing. I’m surprised more bits of it have not fell off.
Well geologically speaking it’s not very long for the world. I’m really sorta wondering how many more years it will still be around.
