By hiking a little further down the
13 faces canyon we could see the back side of Castle Arch. We
had
to hike out of the canyon we were in, drive a little ways and hike
down the next canyon to see the
front of Castle
Arch.

Here we are driving on
our way to the front side of Castle
Arch.

The trail guide we
were using described this section as the most difficult part of the
trail. You can see
where some taller vehicles had scraped the
rock in making this
move.

Here's the front side
of Castle Arch (from a distance). It was pretty cool seeing it from
both
perspectives.
|
 |
This was a cool tree
we passed hiking in to get a closer look of Castle
Arch.
|
 |
Here we are closer to
the
arch.

 |
Trent and I actually
hiked/climbed right up under the arch. That's Trent below me. Of
course I had to climb
the
highest.

Here's a better
picture of the bowl effect I described earlier. From this shot the
back of the canyon and
arch are direclty behind me. You can see
how everything washes/drains into this rock bowl feature then
out the bottom of the canyon. You can barely see him, but
the little speck below the big rock sticking out
on the rim to the
right is David.

If David wasn't enough
to scale the photo for you, here's the tip of my boot in the
picture, though I think I
need a wide angle lens or something to
make this boot thing really work. At least you can see David a
little better in this
picture.
