The BLM has backed down on issuing oil and gas leases near Arches National Park, Dinosaur National Monument and Canyonlands National Park, all in Utah.
Some of those parcels were within a miles and a quarter of Arches' iconic Delicate Arch.
That said, despite listening to some National Park Service protests, the BLM is still leaving in place a number of drilling leases that are on sites readily visible (and audible) from inside Arches.

Delicate Arch at sunset from my vacation
Here's some sunset and near-sunset pictures of world-famous Delicate Arch in Arches National Park in Utah.
Unfortunately, I was one evening too late to get the just-before-full moon inside the arch at sunset.
This is why I hike the West on vacations, and, as in some of these pics, it is also why I have an ultra-wide lens.
More pictures from this and previous vacations of mine are here.
