National Park Mystery Spot 28: A Natural Shape

By Bob Janiskee - September 7th, 2011

The mystery spot is located in a unit of the National Park System. Can you identify the mystery spot and tell which national park it's in?

No keystone you'll find, nor any mortar.
This shape is part of the natural order.

Fine and fragile? Soft and faint?
These are things it certainly ain't!

You must climb up high to see it up close.

You can watch a raven change sides here, quick as a flash.

Bonus clue, no extra charge: One of about 2,000 in this park.

Be sure to check back with Traveler tomorrow for the answer and an explanation of the clues.

Has to be Delicate Arch at Arches National Park. Am I bringing up the rear again?

OK - what they heck. I could tell from the clues anyways. Delicate Arch at Arches National Park.

Natural order probably refers to it being formed by the forces of nature.

"Fine", "fragile", "soft", and "faint" are all synonyms for delicate.

Seeing it close requires a 1.5 mile hike which can be challenging in the summer heat.ot sie

I'm not sure of the raven reference.

The bonus clue refers to the number of known arches in the park.
