Balanced Rock in Arches National Park in Utah is a very popular destination attracting more than 800,000 visitors each year. There used to be a much smaller version of this sandstone formation with the informal name "chip off the old block" that stood just a few feet away west of Balanced Rock. It fell during the winter of 1975/1976. So, even though these marvelous and picturesque jewels seem unchanged to human perception for hundreds of years, they do eventually collapse. Such may be the fate of Balanced Rock, perhaps even in our lifetime.
During the tourist season it is difficult to make a good image of Balanced Rock without people in it. In winter, however, the contrast between red rock and snow renders it even more striking making for an outstanding image worthy of publication or as a fine art print. And, few tourists are around in winter.
