Absolutely stunning Delicate Arch shots here.
#1 is my fav, but I like the color of the arch of the second shot.
Of course you didn't miss that Wolfe Ranch petroglyphs!
I will look for that too when I go there in the Fall.
Thanks for sharing, Sasha.

Two really fine images to start things, Sasha.
When people are in your scene- especially when they are positioned as well as those two were- take a couple shots with them in it. Shucks, nowadays extra pics are free .
As long as they don't stay there forever and ruin the other shooting .

I sat in the same spot you did for your first two, and had almost the same atmosphere...no clouds! I like the framing of the arch with the La Sals in the background.
To Irishman-yes, I know, it yucks. Honestly, did not expect such crowd, but maybe, if not for all them people, I would not go to the Arch myself - actually, came for petroglyphs, and was very tired from morning hike, but then decided - if all these kids going, what the heck, at least I should try.
To Charlie: yes, I took quite a few pictures with the people. At some point, there was an athletic team (I think) that ran in front of the arch, lined up, had their pic taken, and left -all in about couple of minutes. If someone stays there too long, the photo crowd starts to yell, howl and whistle
To Travis: I did not select this spot. It was the only one available when I got there but I liked it and decided not to move, so all my pictures are from the same position.
