Beautiful pic, but even more impressive in person. I was not prepared when I saw it.

So true, definitely worth seeing in person.

I didn’t expect the big bowl next to it, all the pictures have it out of frame

This! I refused to walk the bowl to get underneath the arch. My fiancé made it though and got some awesome photos.

FWIW - going in February was the best. No crowds. We had the arch completely to ourselves around 9-10am which is unheard of during the peak seasons. It was magical.

Super small ice patches on some places but nothing that felt dangerous.

Nice! I was there with a friend who was taking star photos (so it was pitch black), and it was a bit scary haha. They actually went into it for some different angles and it was fine so it’s probably not as steep as it feels. At least there are some flat parts once you make it around the bowl.
